Human versus Computer Partner in the Paired Oral Discussion Test

Gary J. Ockey et al.

Summary: This study explores the challenges of large-scale oral communication assessments and suggests that using a spoken dialog system can be a feasible approach. The results show that the computer partner is more reliable in assessing interactional competence, but human raters generally prefer the human partner due to its perceived authenticity and naturalness.
