To conduct this study, two classes, each containing 30 female students, were selected among the existing 1st grade high school classes in a high school. Prior to the treatment, all participants were given both reading and grammar tests so as to make sure of any initial differences among them. CBM was randomly implemented in one of these classes (as an experimental group) once a week over a 12-week period to monitor their progress in reading and grammar. At the end of the treatment, all participants took the achievement test. The results of two independent-samples t-tests indicated that CBM significantly improved studentsâ L2 reading and grammar achievement during the term. Also, the results of two linear correlations revealed that CBM outcomes during a semester significantly predicted final exam results.http://are.ui.ac.ir/article_15457_f3496cb86e9225f2ff056fdb464d2c79.pdfCurriculumCurriculum-Based MeasurementBased Measurement; formative assessment; summative assessment; reading achievement; grammar achievementformative assessmentsummative assessmentreading achievementgrammar achievement |
