Se distribuyó un pequeño cuestionario a 80 candidatos que realizaron el examen oral APTIS en la Universidad de Alcalá en abril de 2016. Los resultados revelan que los candidatos consideran que las pruebas orales con ordenador son válidas y adecuadas para la evaluación de la competencia oral. Curiosamente, los datos demuestran que las características personales de los candidatos juegan un papel primordial en la elección del método de evaluación más idóneo.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias Humanas - Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras - Grupo de Investigación PROFILEhttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/profile/article/view/68447Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN PROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentPROFILE Issues in Teachers' Professional DevelopmentAmengual-Pizarro, Marian and García-Laborda, Jesús (2017) Analysing Test-Takers’ Views on a Computer-Based Speaking Test.
