Abstract:

The book offers a fresh perspective on second language assessment,
addressing the need for approaches that reflect the complexity of
real-life communication in a connected, multimodal world. Grounded in
learning-oriented assessment, it investigates the interplay between
language ability, speaking performance, and topical knowledge. The
study outlines the theoretical foundations, development process, and
implementation of a new assessment prototype, supported by empirical
research. The book contributes to ongoing dialogue on how language
testing can better support learning, teaching, and real-world
communication.
