Abstract:

'The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing' offers a critical and 
comprehensive overview of language testing and assessment within the 
fields of applied linguistics and language study. 

An understanding of language testing is essential for applied linguistic 
research, language education, and a growing range of public policy issues. 
This handbook is an indispensable introduction and reference to the study of 
the subject. Specially commissioned chapters by leading academics and 
researchers of language testing address the most important topics facing 
researchers and practitioners, including: 


-An overview of the key issues in language testing
-Key research methods and techniques in language test validation
-The social and ethical aspects of language testing
-The philosophical and historical underpinnings of assessment practices
-The key literature in the field
-Test design and development practices through use of practical examples

'The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing' is the ideal resource for 
postgraduate students, language teachers, and those working in the field of 
applied linguistics.
