Local Language Testing: Design, Implementation, and Development
describes the language testing practice that exists in the
intermediate space between large-scale standardized testing and
classroom assessment, an area that is rarely addressed in the
language testing and assessment literature. Covering both theory
and practice, the book focuses on the advantages of local tests,
fosters and encourages their use, and provides suggested ideas for
their development and maintenance. The authors include examples of
operational tests with well-proven track records and discuss: the
ability of local tests to represent local contexts and values,
explicitly and purposefully embed test results within instructional
practice, and provide data for program evaluation and research;
local testing practices grounded in the theoretical principles of
language testing, drawing from experiences with local testing and
providing practical examples of local language tests, illustrating
how they can be designed to effectively function within and across
different institutional contexts; examples of how local language
tests and assessments are developed for use within a specific
context and how they serve a variety of purposes (e.g., entry-level
proficiency testing, placement testing, international teaching
assistant testing, writing assessment, and program evaluation).
Aimed at language program directors, graduate students, and
researchers involved in language program development and
evaluation, this is a timely book in that it focuses on the
advantages of local tests, fosters and encourages their use, and
outlines their development and maintenance. It constitutes
essential reading for language program directors, graduate
students, and researchers involved in language program development
and evaluation.
