This research delved into how test method and gender might affect grammar performance. To this end, 274 intermediate EFL learners in the 18-30 age range, studying in Qotb Ravandi Institute in Tehran took a grammar test in four different formats specified to comparatives, superlatives, and present perfect tenses. The results of the correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive correlation between total score (grammar performance) and error correction, word changing, word order, and completion scores. The results of regression analysis also indicated that gender was a significant predictor of grammar performance. There was a negative statistically significant correlation between gender and grammar performance, indicating that male students tended to score lower than their female counterparts. Furthermore, the predictor variable of grammar performance could accurately classify 63.6% of females and 31.3% of males in their groups, with the overall precision of the regression model being 50%. Therefore, it can be argued that there would be a statistically significant relationship between test-takers' gender and their grammar performance. The implications and suggestions for further studies were also highlighted. پرونده مقاله -

Accordingly, 440 learners, mostly pre-intermediate and a small number of intermediate EFL learners with the age range of 18-25, studying atIAU East Tehran Branch participated in this study. They were asked to complete the Big Five Personality Questionnaire as well as a socio-economic status (SES) sheet for their parents’ education levels. First, the measurement models for investigating the impacts of personality traits and parental education levels on participants’ achievement scores were drawn using the AMOS program. The data was analyzed by means of SEM through the CFA approach. The complete structural model for the Big Five personality factors, parents’ education levels, and students’ achievement scores fit well with the data while the measurement model for the levels of parents’ education did not adequately fit the data. Open-mindedness had a significant negative impact, conscientiousness did not have any significant impact, extraversion had a significant positive effect, agreeableness did not have a significant positive effect, and neuroticism had a slight posi- tive impact on students’ achievement scores. These findings showed that personality traits can be used to predict students’ achievement scores to some degree. پرونده مقاله
