Summary:

"This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing provides an updated and comprehensive account of the area of language testing and assessment. The volume brings together 35 authoritative articles, divided into ten sections, written by 51 leading specialists from around the world. There are five entirely new chapters covering the four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as a new entry on corpus linguistics and language testing. The remaining 30 chapters have been revised, often extensively, or entirely re-written with new authorship teams at the helm reflecting new generations of expertise in the field. With a dedicated section on technology in language testing, reflecting current trends in the field, the handbook also includes an extended epilogue written by Harding and Fulcher, reflecting on what has changed between the first and second edition, and charting a trajectory for the field of language testing and assessment. Providing a basis for discussion, project work, and the design of research projects, this handbook represents an invaluable resource for students and researchers working in the field of language testing and assessment"-- Provided by publisher
