A prototype model of task-based language assessment, the Integrative
Task (IT) Model, was developed in this research project as an attempt to
solve the longstanding problem of grading and generalizing language
learnersי performances on particular language tasks to their future
performances on the tasks at similar difficulty levels. In the IT Model,
two psychometric and information-processing theories contributed
which were operationally defined as the two-factor constructs
underlying individual Integrative tasks: first, the core operations
identified in the eight categories of Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory
(Gardner, 1983; 1985), and second, the behavioral objectives elaborated in the six hierarchical levels of Cognitive Domain identified in the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Bloom, 1965). In this paper, as
one of the researchersי main concerns, the appropriateness of the
interpretations made on the participantsי Integrative task performances is discussed in terms ofexploratory factor analysis and two-factor Analysis, of Variances (ANOYA) as two measures ofconstruct validity.
