It looks like both measures are generally in somewhat of the same constructs, but they are diverging in interesting ways, which underlines how the EAP scores are representing something different than the standardized scores. I'm hoping the funding will come through to expand on this study and incorporate other measures, including qualitative ones.

I admit I haven't read the linked text yet, but I suppose it depends on what "EAP" skills are being assessed by these scores used since EAP measures much more than language-related skills and TOEFL does not. <br /><br />Our recent program evaluation at UofT actually noticed a small predictive element to incoming IELTS scores and student behaviour in our program, but no statistical correlation in how our students performed in their undergraduate degree programs. We'll probably present on it at TESL Canada this year. See you there?Tyson Seburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113881763418411873noreply@blogger.com
