Description

Language Test Validation in a Digital Age by Guoxing Yu and Jing Xu This volume examines the role of technology in language test design and validation. It reports on research studies that explore the effectiveness and challenges of using digital tools to refine assessment methods and research. The authors investigate how cutting-edge technologies can be applied to language assessment, including data collection and artificial intelligence. The book builds on Professor Cyril Weir's socio-cognitive framework, exploring its potential and limitations in light of technological advances. It addresses issues related to the validity of automated scoring and feedback systems, as well as the suitability of the socio-cognitive framework for modern language assessment research and practice. By shedding light on these topics, this volume provides valuable insights into the current state of language test validation and the impact of technology on assessment methods.
