Recenzii

"The chapters in this volume demonstrate what the field of language assessment has known for some time:  given sufficient expertise, time, and resources, we can develop assessments for specific groups of test takers that are justifiable for a range of uses, both formative and summative.  Researchers, developers, and users of large-scale ELP assessments will find this volume informative for their own assessment programs."
