Abstract:

This book explores the development of C-tests for providing efficient measures
of foreign language proficiency in eight different languages: Arabic, Bangla,
Japanese, Korean, Turkish, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Researchers report
on how C-test principles were applied in creating the new language tests, with
careful attention to language-specific challenges and solutions. The final,
five-text C-tests in all languages demonstrated impressive psychometric
qualities as well as strong relationships with criterion variables such as
learner self-assessments and instructional levels. These test development
projects provide new tests for use by foreign language researchers, and they
demonstrate innovative and rigorous test development practices in diverse
languages.
