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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContents\u003c\/i\u003e: Educational assessment – College foreign language education – Test validation – Program evaluation – Validity evaluation methods – Validity evaluation examples – Implications.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044179542359,"sku":"9783631549469","price":62.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631549469.jpg?v=1750960776","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/validity-evaluation-in-language-assessment-9783631549469","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
