Interaction between test-taker characteristics, task facets and l2 oral proficiency test performance

The nature of test-taker characteristics and their impact on second language test performance has drawn a considerable amount of research interest among language testers in the last two decades. this is hardly surprising given the potential influence of test-taker attributes on second language (L2)...
