Abstract:

The Concise Companion to Language Assessment provides a
state-of-the-art overview of the crucial areas of language assessment,
teaching, and learning. Edited by one of the foremost scholars in the
field, The Concise Companion combines newly commissioned articles on
innovations in assessment with a selection of chapters from The
Companion to Language Assessment, the landmark four-volume reference
work first published in 2013.

Presented in eight themes, The Concise Companion addresses a broad
range of language assessment methods, issues, and contexts. Forty-five
chapters cover assessment conceptualization, development, research,
and policy, as well as recent changes in language assessment
technology, learning-oriented assessment, teacher-based assessment,
teacher assessment literacy, plurilingual assessment, assessment for
immigration, and more.

Exploring the past, present, and future possibilities of the dynamic
field, The Concise Companion to Language Assessment:

Contains dedicated chapters on listening, speaking, reading writing,
vocabulary, pronunciation, intercultural competence, and other
language skills
Describes fundamental assessment design and scoring guidelines, as
well as advanced concepts in scenario-based assessment and automated
performance scoring
Provides insights on different assessment environments, such as
classrooms, universities, employment, immigration, and healthcare
Covers various qualitative and quantitative research methods,
including introspective methods, classical reliability, and structural
equation modeling
Discusses the impacts of colonialism and discrimination on the history
of language assessment
Explores the use of AI in writing evaluation, plagiarism and cheating
detection, and other assessment contexts
Sure to become a standard text for the next generation of applied
linguistics students, The Concise Companion to Language Assessment is
an invaluable textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in
applied linguistics, language assessment, TESOL, second language
acquisition, and language policy.
