Language Testing in Practice

PALMER, ADRIAN

Foreign Language Study & Reference

Oxford Univ. Pr.

The practice of testing is related here to views on communicative language teaching and testing. The book is divided into three sections: "Conceptual Bases on Language Testing," "Designing and Constructing Useful Language Tests," and "Collecting, Analyzing, and Using Information from Language Tests."

Language Testing in Practice: Designing and Developing Useful Language Tests (Oxford Applied Linguistics)

Palmer, Adrian S.

English as a Second Language

Oxford University Press

This book enables practitioners to apply statistics effectively to the development and use of language assessments. The Workbook and CD contain datasets from actual language assessments and data analysis exercises.

Statistical Analyses for Language Assessment Book (Cambridge Language Assessment)

Cambridge University Press

This book documents a major study comparing the Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) with the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to investigate similarities in test content, candidature and use. While both tests were designed to measure many of the same abilities, they represent radically different approaches to language test development, reflecting deeper differences between educational measurement traditions in the US and UK.    The thorough investigation of the fundamental characteristics and operational utility of two of the most widely used English tests for foreign students makes this study a valuable contribution to language testing research. As such, it will be of considerable interest to language testing specialists and examination boards, as well as to academic researchers and graduate students in the field of language assessment more generally.

An Investigation into the Comparability of Two Tests of English as a Foreign Language (Studies in Language Testing) (v. 1)

Many classroom teachers and applied linguists find statistical analyses of test results, or number crunching, either inaccessible or incomprehensible. The primary purpose of this book is to make statistical analyses accessible to those who may need to use and interpret language tests.
