Description
Abstract
The work at hand is part of a wider study the aim of which was to determine what kind of factors
influence
failures in pragmatic items of an online adaptive placement test taken by a group of 34 Spanish students in their
first year at university. A preceding analysis (Carrió
&
Martín, 2016) showed the type of personal factors, such
as lack of vocabula
ry, that caused the exam takers failures in the pragmatic part of the test according to their
own perception. In this paper, we go deeper and analyze those specific items holding higher percentage of
failures so that we
can
reach some conclusions about its
content validity and also about the degree of
relationship between these and
the pragmatic
categories dealt with in the most relevant research carried out in
the field of pragmalinguistic testing and assessment.
