The present paper reports on a case study that explored
the applicability of dynamic assessment (DA) for promoting learners’
word derivational knowledge in English as a second or a foreign
language (L2). One learner’s performance on tasks assessing his
word derivational knowledge was measured four times. The first two
measurements were conducted before and after three weekly humanmediated
DA sessions and the last two, which took place a year and
a half later, before and after three weekly computerised DA sessions.
Think aloud protocols and interviews were used to trace changes in
the learner’s use of strategies and knowledge sources. The results
revealed that following the dynamic assessment, the learner improved
his performance and used strategies and knowledge sources more successfully.
The findings have implications for designing dynamic tests
of L2 English word derivational knowledge and for word derivational
knowledge instruction.
