With a particular focus on foreign language testing, the author challenges assessment traditions and argues for a fundamental reconceptualization of assessments and their validation in language teaching and other educational settings. Following a critical review of test validity standards and methods within educational measurement, the author then proposes a comprehensive alternative approach to validation based upon program evaluation methodology. A report of a multi-year case study completes the volume, providing in-depth analyses of how validity evaluation methods were applied by foreign language educators in meeting the assessment needs of a German program at a US university.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46887951270039,"sku":"9783631549469","price":7757.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783631549469.webp?v=1770258278","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/validity-evaluation-in-language-assessment-9783631549469","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
