- Measuring Language Gains in a Foreign Language Context Ana Muñoz-Restrepo Isabel Valderrama-Carvajal Alejandra Lopez Muñoz Ricardo Avendaño Franco Lengua y Literatura EFL SALG learning gain Adult students oral assessment Learning gain can be defined as the difference between students’ language competences demonstrated at two different points in time. In this article, we reported on a small-scale study aimed at measuring learning gains and piloting the methods chosen. Fourteen students of English as a foreign language participated in the study. We employed a student self-report survey, an oral performance assessment task and a standardised test for data gathering, and we applied them at three different moments during the eight-month study. Our data analysis includes the comparison of percentages rendered by test scores, the estimation of means for oral task scores and grouping and coding for qualitative data in the survey. Results show the gradual pattern of language improvement and the suitability of methods. These results can help stakeholders or policymakers in selecting relevant evidence to improve accountability in decision-making. We have provided conclusions and recommendations below for a larger scale study. 2020 artículo científico 0123-4641 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=305764767006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3057/305764767006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3057/305764767006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3057/305764767006/305764767006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3057/305764767006/movil https://doi.org/10.14483/22487085.14171 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3057 Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal application/pdf Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.22
