• Raters’ L2 background as a potential source of bias in rating oral performance (2013, background): “Thus, testing programs may need to be aware of their raters’ L1 (bilingual) and L2 backgrounds, as well as the amount of time spent living abroad (Carey et al., 2011).”
• Building Better Open-Source Tools to Support Fairness in Automated Scoring (2017, background): “Among the factors that can impact the assigned scores are rater fatigue (Ling et al., 2014), differences between novice and experienced raters (Davis, 2015), and the effect of raters’ linguistic background on their evaluation of the language skill being measured (Carey et al., 2011).”
