Index
“This new edition provides a comprehensive and practical analysis of language assessment theory. In addition to updated concepts and “Teacher’s Voices”, new chapters on assessing language for specific purposes and content-based assessment have been added. Each chapter now features a “Tools of the Trade” section, which covers important statistical procedures and examples. Each TeacherSource title blends three perspectives: Frameworks introduce the author’s view on the topic and help teachers understand the relevance to what they do; Teacher’s Voices feature teachers’ narratives of classroom practice as a vehicle for professional learning; Investigations offer bridges between the contents of the book and the teacher’s world.” (Book Cover)
