Mô tả: The study is aimed at establishing the cognitive validity of the speaking section of the VSTEP.3-5, which are presented in the cognitive processes imposed by the test, whether the scores of the sections can tell such cognitive processes imposed by the test and whether the scores can tell real-life processes that the test takers may experience. For such an aim, the research questions of the study were designed to establish the speaking cognitive validity of the test as a predictor of real-life performance basing on the central issues that a language test must deal with in terms of its cognitive validity (Field, 2013)
