Practical Language Testing equips you with the skills, knowledge
and principles necessary to understand and construct language
tests. This intensely practical book gives guidelines on the design
of assessments within the classroom, and provides the necessary
tools to analyse and improve assessments, as well as deal with
alignment to externally imposed standards. Testing is situated both
within the classroom and within the larger social context, and
readers are provided the knowledge necessary to make realistic and
fair decisions about the use and implementation of tests. The book
explains the normative role of large scale testing and provides
alternatives that the reader can adapt to their own context. This
fulfils the dual purpose of providing the reader with the knowledge
they need to prepare learners for tests, and the practical skills
for using assessment for learning. Practical Language Testing is
the ideal introduction for students of applied linguistics, TESOL
and modern foreign language teaching as well as practicing teachers
required to design or implement language testing programmes. The
book is supported by frequently updated online resources at
http://languagetesting.info/ including sets of scenarios providing
resources to study aviation English assessment, call centre
assessment, military language assessment, and medical language
assessment. The materials can be used to structure debates and
seminars, with pre-reading and video activities. Practical Language
Testing was commended as a 2012 runner-up of the prestigious
SAGE/ILTA Award for Best Book on Language Testing.
