The effect of interventionist dynamic assessment on Iranian EFL learners’ vocabulary learning and retention: a sociocultural inquiry by Malihe YarAhmadi, Hossein Kargar Behbahani

“…This study investigated the potential of the interventionist approach to DA in facilitating vocabulary learning and retention among Iranian English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) learners. To this end, adopting a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest–posttest-delayed posttest control group design, 80 pre-intermediate learners from two intact classes from a university in South Iran were randomly divided into two conditions: an experimental group (EG), which received DA-based treatment with appropriate scaffolding and zone of proximal development (ZPD)-sensitive instruction; and a control group (CG), which, in contrast to the EG, received traditional vocabulary instruction with the teacher merely providing direct translation of the target vocabulary. …”
