Abstract:

The ability to speak and write effectively is widely recognized as an
important skill in many contexts and for many purposes, both personal,
educational and professional. Because these skills are considered important in
second and foreign language learning contexts, they are often included in
performance assessments. The scoring of such performances is, however, a
complex undertaking and has attracted much attention, both in first and second
language learning contexts. The increasing use of automated scoring systems
has added to this complexity in recent years. It is therefore all the more
surprising that there is no book available that provides an overview of this
topic area – the scoring of second language performances. This monograph fills
this gap, by drawing together the latest literature in the area. It focusses
on issues relating to both rater-mediated assessments and sets out
consideration in relation to automated scoring systems (and other technology)
which are increasingly used in our field. This monograph provides a useful
introduction to graduate students, researchers, test developers, other
practitioners and teachers to this topic which has in many ways dominated the
field of language assessment over many decades.
