Abstract:

This edited volume investigates the nature and possible applications of an
expanded and reconceptualized theoretical construct of speaking as a dynamic
socially-constructed endeavour. It addresses both theoretical perspectives and
methodological procedures to define and circumscribe the assessment of
contextualized speaking. The chapters focus on the complexity brought about by
actual interactional competence in speaking tasks and discuss how testing and
assessment models and practices can incorporate recent research findings on
the inherently dynamic and situated nature of language use. The volume
presents research on language assessment in a variety of languages other than
English, including French, Chinese and Japanese. It also examines the role
that embodied action (gaze, gesture, orientation to materials and texts in the
environment) plays in assessment practices, an area that has heretofore
remained under-explored.
