Abstract:

Testing of second language pragmatics has grown as a research area but still
suffers from a tension between construct coverage and practicality. In this
book, the authors describe the development and validation of a web-based test
of second language pragmatics for learners of English. The test has a
sociopragmatic orientation and strives for a broad coverage of the construct
by assessing learners’ metapragmatic judgments as well as their ability to
co-construct discourse. To ensure practicality, the test is delivered online
and is scored partially automatically and partially by human raters. We used
the argument-based approach to validation, which showed that the test can
support low-stakes decisions about learners’ knowledge of sociopragmatics in
English.
