   Despite the salience of monitoring in self-regulated learning (SRL) and foreign and/or second language (L2) speech production in non-testing conditions, little is known about the metacognitive construct in testing contexts and its effects on learner performance. Given the reciprocal effects between L2 testing and L2 learning, a research effort in monitoring working in speaking tests, in particular computer-delivered integrated speaking tests, a testing format that has been advocated as an internal part of L2 classroom instruction and represents the future direction of L2 testing, is warranted. This study, therefore, serves as such an effort through investigating the use of monitoring by 95 Chinese English as foreign language (EFL) learners on a self-reported questionnaire after they performed three computer-delivered integrated speaking test tasks. Descriptive analysis followed by Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM) testing reveals that monitoring was used in a high-frequency manner, but it exerted no substantial effects on learner performance. Primarily, the results are expected to provide pedagogical implications for SRL: while fostering self-regulating learners, especially self-monitoring L2 speakers, it is necessary for L2 teachers to purposefully reduplicate testing conditions in their classroom instructions for helping the self-regulating learners be equally self-regulating test-takers. Moreover, the results are hoped to offer some insights into L2 testing through the perspective of self-monitoring, one proposed component of strategic competence, a construct that has been extensively acknowledged to reflect the essence of L2 testing.

   The English government in this country should never, directly or indirectly interfere in propagating the Christian religion.(John Malcolm)THE COMPANY's despatch providing for Church of Scotland ministers as stipulated in the new charter made much of the Company's magnanimity, maintaining somewhat disingenuously that this demonstrated ‘our desire to encourage by every prudent means in our power, the extension of the principles of the Christian Religion in India’. Its attitude towards granting licences to missionaries had not, however, changed. The Court continued to have concerns that missionary activity conducted by Evangelicals was not prudent. Both the Chairman of the Company, Robert Thornton, and Nicholas Vansittart, the Evangelical Chancellor of the Exchequer, advised the CMS to defer its applications until the new charter came into effect in 1814. In November 1813, when both the CMS and BMS decided to apply for licences, they were refused. The Court objected to the wording of the BMS application which did not specify that Eustace, Carey's nephew, was to go out as a missionary. Fuller perceptively thought the Directors were ‘galled with the rope wherewith the petitions and Government have tied their hands, and do not like to grant a favour before they are obliged to it, and yet do not know what to object’. The BMS and CMS then appealed to the Board, which forced the Court to grant the licences. However, the Board altered the Court's draft despatch granting these licences in an unexpected way. The draft had used the phrase, ‘as missionaries’. Read less
