Alderson, J. Charles
In a humorous tribute to his parents, the dedication in Charles Alderson's oft‐quoted publication Assessing Reading (Alderson, 2000) reads: “I only hope they would not have been too disappointed that I did not become the Town Clerk of Burnley, as my mother hoped.” Though he failed to follow that exact path, Alderson's mother accurately predicted that his work would have a wide sphere of influence. Indeed, he has been described as “a major force i…
Accommodations in language testing and assessment
Language assessment accommodations
In this concluding piece to the special issue, we attempt to tease out and comment on some themes that have emerged from the six published papers. Some of these themes highlight potential avenues for further theoretical and empirical investigation, and may assist in mapping out a coherent research agenda on the topic for language testers and assessment specialists in the future
Corpus Linguistics, Learner Corpora, and SLA
In this article we explore the relationship between learner corpus and second language acquisition research. We begin by considering the origins of learner corpus research, noting its roots in smaller scale studies of learner language. This development of learner corpus studies is considered in the broader context of the development of corpus linguistics. We then consider the aspirations that learner corpus researchers have had to engage with sec…
Interactional competence
The papers in this special issue provide support for continued scrutiny of interactional competence (IC) as an important component of the speaking construct. The contributions underscore the complex nature of IC and remind us of the multiple factors that affect any construct definition. At the same time, each study offers insights into those factors through their explorations of IC. In this final paper, we first briefly review key findings from t…
The Toefl CBT (Computer-based test)
Language testing and assessment (Part 2)
In Part 1 of this two-part review article (Alderson & Banerjee, 2001), we first addressed issues of washback, ethics, politics and standards. After a discussion of trends in testing on a national level and in testing for specific purposes, we surveyed developments in computer-based testing and then finally examined self-assessment, alternative assessment and the assessment of young learners. In this second part, we begin by discussing recent theo…
