The authors regret to mention that after the online publication of our article (Coombe et al. 2020) in Language Testing in Asia, we found out that the paper by Levi and Inbar-Lourie (2020) is not cited in the final version of the paper and in the relevant places as required. Also, some additional corrections should be made. As a result of this, we do apologize to Levi and Inbar-lourie, the readers, and the publisher for the oversight. The following corrections should be considered in the manuscript:

The correct sentence in the 2nd paragraph in ‘Language assessment and language learning’ section is:
