About the Book

The main focus of this volume is test development and accreditation requirements and needs. One of the major objectives here is to show the key aspects of the application of assessment in higher education and the systems of accreditation. Thanks to its unique perspective, it offers a different approach on various aspects of second language assessment. As universities are one of the best arenas for the analysis of language testing, the book thoroughly prepares higher education teachers to apply pilot studies and shows students' responses to new testing techniques and accreditation requirements. It offers an enlightening guide for scholars with an academic interest in acquiring the basic principles of language testing and accreditation, providing real cases of how new ways of testing and accreditation can be useful to second language teachers and students. Readers will not only come to understand how to use new testing strategies, but also have the opportunity to see that the proposals described in each chapter may be useful to language assessment and motivation of students.

Review :
'This edited volume provides new insight into test development and accreditation in foreign-language assessment. Aspects such as testing strategies and student motivation are also discussed in relation to the main theme. [...] [T]he volume makes a strong contribution to the important discussion of how best to assess language proficiency, which is of great interest to the field. The authors have definitely succeeded in fulfilling the aim of exploring 'new ways of testing and implementing assessment' (p. vii). The volume covers descriptions of an impressive number of new and innovative tests and methods, along with more general discussions of testing and accreditation. It will no doubt be of interest to universities, policymakers and individual researchers. With its predominantly empirical basis, the book furthermore has practical uses, for example for foreign-language teaching practitioners.'Tove LarssonUppsala UniversityStudia Neophilologica, 89: 2 (2017)
