Written by a leading authority in both language testing and in the nature of reading in a second or foreign language, this book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the assessment of reading in a foreign or second language. This volume is unique in that it reviews theory, research and practice in the assessment of reading. It provides the novice with a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of reading assessment, and the researcher with an in-depth discussion of the major issues in the field.
This book contains:
• A review of current and past research into the psychological, social and cognitive factors involved in reading
• A detailed consideration of the relationship between reading and the construction of language tests and assessment procedures
• A discussion of how the assessment of reading might develop in the future including the implications for assessment of computer-based testing
