Language Testing in Practice: Designing and Developing Useful Language Tests,
Winner of the MLA Kenneth W Mildenberger Prize
This book relates language testing practice to current views of communicative language teaching and testing. It builds on the theoretical background expounded in Bachman's "Fundamental Considerations in Language Testing" and examines the design, planning, and organization of tests.
What is assessment and how does testing differ from it? Why are performance tests, by themselves, not an adequate system of student assessment? How might we better "test our tests" beyond current technical standards? And why won't increased national testing offer the accountability of schools we so sorely need?
