  • Assessment and Testing

    Open AccessBenjamin Kremmel, Carol A Chapelle et al.OTHERThe Encyclopedia of Applied…2026

    Language assessment and testing intersects almost all language‐related issues that applied linguists study. These intersections take place at the level of ideas, but typically also in many of the everyday practices in language teaching, certification, and gate keeping, where language tests are used. Across the many different testing contexts, both the terms “test” and “assessment” are used to denote the systematic gathering of language‐related be…

  • Reliability in Language Assessment

    Open AccessCarol A ChapelleCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2026

    Almost any test user will readily agree that tests should be valid and reliable, but if asked to explain what “reliability” means, most test users would be hard pressed, despite the widespread use of this measure in the documentation that accompanies language tests. Assessment experts would also agree that reliability is a central concern for interpreting assessment results, even to the point that it is an important part of most validity argument…

  • Language Program Evaluation

    Open AccessCarol A ChapelleCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2021

    Language program evaluation entails systematic collection of information that is useful for making judgments about the value of a program. The specific types of information gathered and the value judgments depend on the intended uses of the evaluation. In applied linguistics and social science more broadly, evaluation generally treats the whole program as the unit of analysis even though the definition of a program can vary widely. Contemporary l…

  • Teaching Culture and Intercultural Competence

    Open AccessCarol A ChapelleCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2021

    Which aspects of culture should be taught in a language class? Facts of geography and history, national symbols, small cultures, or ways of life, myths, and ideologies? Which kinds of culture? National, regional, or professional culture; high culture or popular culture? And whose culture should be taught? The culture of one or more target countries, or the hybrid culture of multilingual individuals who straddle various national cultures? The best…

In addition to comparing technology to teacher‐fronted classrooms, researchers investigate the quality of interactions, acquisition of particular linguistic features, benefits o…

  • Opération Amérique

    Alexandre Couture Gagnon, Carol A ChapelleARTICLEThe American Review of Canadian…2019

    Opération Amérique refers to the coordinated efforts of René Lévesque’s Parti Québécois government beginning late 1970s to promote Québec’s interests in the United States. The general goals and strategies of Opération Amérique suggest that it presents a case of soft power. However, the specific actions implemented as well as their effects have barely been explored. An analysis of original documents pertaining to Opération Amérique indicates that …

  • Validation of rating processes within an argument-based framework

    Open AccessUte Knoch, Carol A ChapelleARTICLELanguage Testing2018

    Argument-based validation requires test developers and researchers to specify what is entailed in test interpretation and use. Doing so has been shown to yield advantages (Chapelle, Enright, & Jamieson, 2010), but it also requires an analysis of how the concerns of language testers can be conceptualized in the terms used to construct a validity argument. This article presents one such analysis by examining how issues associated with the rating of…

  • The promise of NLP and speech processing technologies in language assessment

    Open AccessCarol A Chapelle, Yoo-Ree Chung et al.ARTICLELanguage Testing2010

    Advances in natural language processing (NLP) and automatic speech recognition and processing technologies offer new opportunities for language testing. Despite their potential uses on a range of language test item types, relatively little work has been done in this area, and it is therefore not well understood by test developers, researchers or users in language assessment. This paper introduces NLP for language assessment as an area of inquiry …
