This edited volume develops a theoretical framework for validating
tests of second language ability. The chapter authors show how an
understanding and analysis of the framework and its components can
assist test developers to operationalise their tests more
effectively, especially in relation to the key criteria that
differentiate one proficiency level from another. The book provides
an up-to-date review of the relevant literature on assessing
speaking, an accessible and systematic description of the different
proficiency levels in second language speaking and a comprehensive
and coherent basis for validating tests of speaking. It will be of
considerable interest to examination boards who wish to validate
their own speaking tests in a systematic and coherent manner, as
well as to academic researchers and graduate students in the field
of language assessment more generally.
