Table 6.19 Gap Type 3-Inference gaps of 2013 TEM 8 (2)
Protocol 1 (Gap No. 9; No answer;
TEM 4: 78; TEM 8 Mini: 3.5)Zhou: Then, about the second point, attitude toward
what? Active evaluate and change behavior, passive,
no change in approach, The given two points are in
my notes. Then, about the head of the two relevant
points, I think it should be attitude toward changes,
or alteration, um, evaluate, change behavior, no
change...or...
R: What should follow here?
Zhou: It must be a noun after attitude toward, and
then, the noun should parallel with the previous
responsibility. It’s a characteristic. Let me think. It
should be others evaluate or say something to let...
no change in approach...I could notfind anything
relevant in my notes. I just wrote down the two
sentences given in the question. So, I am now
summarizing the blank from the two given
sentences. Evaluate...I might guess it. Um, change
behavior, and no change in approach. It should be
others said something, the behavior is good or bad,
and then learners decide whether to change or not.
Then, active learners will change, if good, they keep
it. Passive learners will not take notice of others’
comment
R: So what happened?
Zhou: Attitude toward responsibility, attitude
toward, improvement, or self-evaluation? No good.
Um, I cannotfigure it out now...
(going back to No. 9): Number 9, attitude toward...
Let me think. Um, evaluate and change behavior,
passive learners, no change in approach. Evaluate,
change...One is responsibility and what should be
the other? What is it indeed? Um...the last one, no
change in approach, active, evaluate and change
behavior, attitude toward...Is it time to hand in the
paper? Can I think a little while? Um, I know the
general meaning, but just cannotfigure out the exact
word. Attitude toward, active, change behavior,
passive, no change...Ok, I give up
Protocol 2 (Gap No. 9; Wrong answer;
TEM 4: 81; TEM 8 Mini: 4)Tan: I just infer that it should be the attitude toward
difficulty
R: Did you remember anything?
Tan: No, I didn’t write down anything about this
point. So I just infer from the sentences given in the
outline about what active learners and passive
learners do
Before, I would like tofill in manner, I feel it’s sort
of attitude or manner, one would change, the other
wouldn’t change, but I don’t think it’s correct. It’s
not something toward behavior. It should be
