Abstract

The C-test is widely known as a test of overall LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY. Most of the evidence in this regard has been obtained through correlational studies. Nonetheless, CONSTRUCT VALIDITY of the C-test is just partially established. Moreover, such studies do not reveal anything about the mental processes going on in the mind of the testees. VERBAL PROTOcol analysis has been recommended as an important tool to validate the C-test. A C-test consisting of 5 texts with 100 deletions was given to a sample of 26 Iranian English seniors, and subsequently a retrospective VERBAL PROTOcol analysis was carried out to learn what happened in the mind of the testees while they were restoring the test items. The results of the study showed that the subjects used 13 different strategies, consisting of both bottom-up and top-down processes. However, the use of different strategies varied as a function of both the types of items in the C-test as well as the proficiency level of the subjects. The results of the study suggest CONSTRUCT VALIDITY of the C-test as a test of overall LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY.
