What does it mean to be a member of a professional association in our field
Ethics in Language Assessment
Ethics play a major role in language testing and assessment as tests can have consequences that impact the lives and well‐being of test takers. Language testing specialists have developed domain‐specific principles in response to growing recognition of the needs of varied stakeholders, national‐level policy and legislative changes, and updates to measurement theory. Regional and international associations have addressed the need to steer the fiel…
Reframing the discourse and rhetoric of language testing and assessment for the public square
As applied linguists and language testers, we are in the business of “doing language”. For many of us, language learning is a lifelong passion, and we invest similar enthusiasm in our language assessment research and testing practices. Language is also the vehicle through which we communicate that enthusiasm to others, sharing our knowledge and experience with colleagues so we can all grow in understanding and expertise. We are actually quite goo…
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

Exploring Language Assessment and Testing: Language in Action Anthony Green (2021) (2nd edition) New York: Routledge. Pp. 306ISBN: 9781138388772 (hbk) ISBN: 9781138388789 (pbk) ISBN: 9781003105794 (eBook)
Interactional Competence
This article on interactional competence provides an overview of the historical influences that have shaped theoretical conceptualisations of this construct as it relates to spoken language use, leading to the current view of it as involving both cognitive and social dimensions, and then describes its operationalisation in tests and assessment scales, and the challenges associated with this activity. Looking into the future, issues that need to b…
Communicating the theory, practice and principles of language testing to test stakeholders
The 33rd Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC), held in June 2011 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, included a conference symposium on the topic of assessment literacy. This event brought together a group of four presenters from different parts of the world, each of whom reported on their recent research in this area. Presentations were followed by a discussant slot that highlighted some thematic threads from across the papers and raised various ques…
Ethics in Language Assessment
The term “ethics” normally refers to a set of accepted beliefs and practices intended to constrain behavior and to promote the common good.
Developing Assessment Literacy
Language testing and assessment have moved center stage in recent years, whether for educational, employment, or sociopolitical reasons. More and more people are involved in developing tests and using test score outcomes, though often without a background or training in assessment to equip them adequately for this role. Simultaneously, increasing professionalization of the field has led to the generation of standards, ethical codes, and guideline…
