This book presents an overview of revisiting the assessment of
language abilities. It also showcases how the measurement of such
constructs can result in negative or positive washback and how
outcomes might be conducive to repercussions that decide on the
future of many stakeholders. The 23 chapters were selected among
tens of chapters received from different contexts that addressed
the issue of revisiting the assessment of language abilities, such
as Tunisia, Ukraine, Algeria, Russia, KSA, Sudan, Egypt, Canada,
Kurdistan, UK, USA, Iran, Turkey, etc. These contexts have
highlighted the necessity to revisit the different constructs which
should be assessed with a clear and straightforward foundation on
students' learning objectives and their actual language ability. To
do so, most of the chapters present hands-on use of relevant
statistical tests that might serve in revisiting the construct
definition both theoretically and operationally. Perhaps the sole
and intricate question that the authors of these contributions ask
is what it means to revisit the assessment of the construct of
individualized language ability and how. In addition, the book
accentuates the momentousness and significance of reflecting on
test fairness and validation as the mainspring and backbone for
democratization of assessment. This book appeals to a broad
readership, such as English Language Teaching (ELT) practitioners,
language teachers, students, testing organizations, policy-makers,
test designers, writers of test specifications, testing experts,
researchers, program evaluators, especially in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) as well as other international contexts.
