The effect of interventionist dynamic assessment on Iranian EFL learners’ vocabulary learning and retention: a sociocultural inquiry by Malihe YarAhmadi, Hossein Kargar Behbahani

“…To this end, adopting a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–posttest-delayed posttest control group design, 80 pre-intermediate learners from two intact classes from a university in South Iran were randomly divided into two conditions: an experimental group (EG), which received DA-based treatment with appropriate scaffolding and zone of proximal development (ZPD)-sensitive instruction; and a control group (CG), which, in contrast to the EG, received traditional vocabulary instruction with the teacher merely providing direct translation of the target vocabulary. Pretests, posttests, and delayed posttests were administered to measure the knowledge of the target vocabulary across the three time occasions. …”
