Language tests play pivotal roles in education, research on
learning, and gate-keeping decisions. The central concern for
language testing professionals is how to investigate whether or not
tests are appropriate for their intended purposes. This book
introduces an argument-based validity framework to help with the
design of research that investigates the validity of language test
interpretation and use. The book presents the principal concepts
and technical terms, then shows how they can be implemented
successfully in practice through a variety of validation studies.
It also demonstrates how argument-based validity intersects with
technology in language testing research and highlights the use of
validity argument for identifying research questions and
interpreting the results of validation research. Use of the
framework helps researchers in language testing to communicate
clearly and consistently about technical issues with each other and
with researchers of other types of tests.
