Think Aloud Protocols in Language Testing Research

Khaled Barkaoui has used think-alouds to investigate rater processes and decisions as they rate essay samples. The focus is not on the raters, but on whether the research method is a useful tool for the purpose. He explains his findings to Glenn Fulcher, and their significance for the use of protocol analysis in research. Melissa Bowles, the author of the influential book "The Think-Aloud Controversy in Second Language Research" then joins the discussion, to explain precisely what the problems and possibilities of think-alouds are in language testing research.
