The book introduces a framework for examining the validity of tests
that aim to assess second-language (L2) proficiency development
over time and/or in relation to L2 instruction. It also reports the
findings of a longitudinal study that aimed to examine the
sensitivity to change of a test of L2 proficiency development.
Specifically, the study examined changes over time in Progress
scores and the linguistic characteristics of essays written in
response to Progress by learners who took the test before, during
and after a period of L2 instruction in different countries. The
book furthers our understanding of the nature of L2 proficiency as
it develops over time and in relation to L2 instruction and
provides a framework that can be used in future endeavours to
design and validate tests of L2 proficiency development. The book
is intended for graduate students, test developers, and researchers
doing research in applied linguistics and L2 assessment.
