Materials for Language Assessment

This edited volume illustrates varied language assessment objectives (such as language impact and potentiality, and the effective uses of artificial intelligent applications) and activities which have been developed from context-based theoretical frameworks. The beliefs and practices have been derived from the assessment experiences of practitioners in Europe, South Asia, Far East and Africa. Although most of the chapters demonstrate tasks which have been used to assess language learners belonging to specific educational scenarios, the book aims to enhance understanding of language and assessment in general while stimulating reflection upon educational truths. The contributions re-visualize assessment procedures providing effective, inventive, and practical concepts which will benefit test/materials developers, language teachers and applied linguists. The discussed principles and exemplifications will support educationists to prepare and apply assessment tools which reflect authentic and needs-based language use.
