| Abstract: | This article reports the results of research to determine if a significant interactive effect exists between students' lingual background (English as a primary language EPL] versus English as a secondary language ESL]) and question format on students' examination scores. Students were administered examinations made up of four subtests covering the same subject matter. The subtests were composed of four question formats: multiple choice quantitative, multiple choice theoretical, open-ended quantitative, and open-ended essay questions. Based on analysis of variance and analysis of covariance, significant differences were observed between EPL and ESL students depending on the type of question on the examination. |
