Verbal Protocol Analysis in Language Testing Research: A Handbook

Серия: "Studies in Language Testing"

Verbal protocol analysis (VPA) is a methodology that is being used extensively by researchers. Recently, individuals working in the area of testing, and in language testing in particular, have begun to appreciate the roles VPA might play in the development and evaluation of assessment instruments. VPA is a complex methodology however, and individuals choosing to use the technique require some degree of training in order to maximize the benefits in adopting this approach, and in order to avoid some of the more common misunderstandings and pitfalls associated with the use of verbal data. Usiing Verbal Protocols in Language Test Validation aims to provide potential practitioners with the background to the technique and a good understanding of what is entailed in using VPA in the specific context of language testing and assessment. Tutorial exercises are presented which enable the reader to try out each of the different steps involved in VPA.

Alison Green

Alison Green is a former campaign coordinator for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and current Chief of Staff at the Marijuana Policy Project.

During her time at PETA (1995-2001), Green made headlines for stunts such as throwing a pie at fashion designer Oscar de la Renta for his use of animal fur in his clothing line and, a year later, tossing another pie at Procter & Gamble CEO John Pepper, in protest of the company's animal testing. [http://www.enquirer.com/editions/1999/02/19/fin_pepper_wont_press.html]

Green also penned numerous op-eds for PETA, including some defending the organization's high-profile and controversial campaigns targeting McDonalds and other corporations. [http://www.commondreams.org/views/070500-101.htm] Green made headway bringing the animal-rights message into the conservative world, taking PETA's message to such conservative bastions as the College Republicans Convention and the pages of conservative newspapers, arguing that "there's nothing partisan about compassion for animals."

Prior to employment with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), Green briefly dated MPP Executive Director Rob Kampia.
