what they cover in the classroom. Still, it is necessary to measure the progress of the program
as a whole.
Therefore, partly to compensate for the gap between test content and class content, and
partly to ensure that the researcher covered all four skills in his assessment, he allotted
students weekly writing and speaking assignments to be completed as homework. The writing assignments were sent to the teacher via email, and the teacher provided
written feedback noting errors and points to be corrected. The speaking assignments were
done on Yack Pack, an interpenetrated social network in which students could send sound files
to other members in the pack, or class (Meyerhoff, 2006). In the case at hand, files were
submitted to the instructor only.
