Mediational moves and reciprocity behaviors in face-to-face and mobile-assisted dynamic assessment

Research on dynamic assessment (DA) has been conducted the efficiency of either face-to-face (F2F) or mobile-assissted (MA) DA sessions. However, studies investigating difference between these sessions in foreign language learning context are scarce. Thus, this study aims to explore differences F2F and MA terms mediator’s mediational moves learners’ reciprocity behaviors. To end, were held with four tertiary level learners. Then behaviors employed explored through qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that interactions occurred mediator learner contexts generally carried out effectively. it is noteworthy learners made more inaccurate responses used L1 In contrast this, careful attempts Moreover, teacher as a tended give approval eliminate disadvantage restricted DA. light findings, pedagogical implications suggested for both teachers researchers.
