The Diagnosis of Reading in a Second or Foreign Language
explores the notion of diagnostic testing and establishes a
framework for its practical applications in understanding second
and foreign language reading. The book uses case studies from a
wide variety of subject areas to contextualize a theory of
diagnosis and to show how second and foreign language reading has
been assessed in the past, culminating in a discussion of how
diagnosis might be used to better understand and assess second and
foreign language reading abilities. This is the only book to
provide a detailed look into the little-examined field of
diagnostic language testing, ideal for students, researchers, and
professionals in applied linguistics, second language acquisition,
and language testing and education.
