Testing of second language pragmatics has grown as a research area
but still suffers from a tension between construct coverage and
practicality. In this book, the authors describe the development
and validation of a web-based test of second language pragmatics
for learners of English. The test has a sociopragmatic orientation
and strives for a broad coverage of the construct by assessing
learners' metapragmatic judgments as well as their ability to
co-construct discourse. To ensure practicality, the test is
delivered online and is scored partially automatically and
partially by human raters. We used the argument-based approach to
validation, which showed that the test can support low-stakes
decisions about learners' knowledge of sociopragmatics in English.
