Book synopsis

The first comprehensive treatment of how foreign language testing has evolved during the past one hundred-plus years into the complex, heterogeneous field it represents today. Providing an in-depth historical understanding of the subject, the author charts the evolution of language testing from its earliest existence as a coherent activity in the final years of the nineteenth century to its current status as a legitimate focus for specialization and inquiry. He also suggests future directions in the field such as computer-assisted testing. This volume will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in such fields as applied linguistics, educational measurement and psychometrics, language teacher training, bilinguialism / multiculturalism, and bilingual education.
