Each of the contributors is an expert in their area; some are established names while others are talented newcomers to the field. The chapters present new research or perspectives on traditional concerns such as test quality; fairness and bias; the testing of different language skills; the needs of different groups of examinees, including English language learners who need to take content tests in English; and the use of language assessments for gate-keeping purposes. The volume demonstrates how language assessment is informed by and engages with neighbouring areas of applied linguistics such as technology and language corpora. The book represents the best of current practice in second language assessment and, as a one volume reference, will be invaluable to students and researchers looking for material that extends their understanding of the field."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContemporary applied linguistics ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xEvaluation 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xAbility testing 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xEvaluation 606 $2Language teaching theory & methods 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xAbility testing. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xEvaluation. 676 $a401/.93 686 $aLAN020000$2bisacsh 702 $aBanerjee$b Jayanti 702 $aTsagari$b Dina 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798481003321 996 $aContemporary second language assessment$93693176 997 $aUNINA
