This book has two goals, each related to the validity of language
assessment. The first goal is to explore the difference between
fairness and justice in language assessment. The authors
distinguish internal and external dimensions of the equitable and
just treatment of individuals taking language tests which are used
as gatekeeping devices to determine access to education and
employment, immigrant status, citizenship, and other rights. The
second goal is to show how the extent of test fairness can be
demonstrated and improved using the tools of psychometrics, in
particular the models collectively known as Rasch measurement.
