Abstract:
This volume includes chapters on key aspects of second language assessment
such as test construct, diagnosis, exam design, and the growing range of
public policy, social and ethical issues. Each of the contributors is an
expert in their area; some are established names while others are talented
newcomers to the field.
The chapters present new research or perspectives on traditional concerns such
as test quality; fairness and bias; the testing of different language skills;
the needs of different groups of examinees, including English language
learners who need to take content tests in English; and the use of language
assessments for gate-keeping purposes. The volume demonstrates how language
assessment is informed by and engages with neighbouring areas of applied
linguistics such as technology and language corpora.
The book represents the best of current practice in second language assessment
and, as a one volume reference, will be invaluable to students and researchers
looking for material that extends their understanding of the field.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
