       teachers with a theoretical background of key issues 
       associated with language testing as well as practical 
       advice on how to improve the effectiveness of the tests 
       they develop and implement. Written by internationally 
       prominent researchers and educators, the chapters are 
       organized into five sections: key issues in the field, 
       assessment purposes and approaches, assessment of second 
       language skills, technology in assessment, and 
       administrative issues. Chapters assume no particular 
       background knowledge and are written in an accessible 
       style"--|cProvided by publisher.
