A Practical Guide to Language Assessment helps educators at every level redefine their approach to language assessment. Grounded in extensive research and aligned with the latest advances in language education, this comprehensive guide introduces foundational concepts and explores key principles in test development and item writing.

- Explains the foundational concepts of language assessment with practical examples and clear explanations
- Bridges theoretical principles with practical applications, enabling educators to create effective test blueprints and assessment items and tasks
- Provides up-to-date coverage of timely topics such as the integration of AI in assessments and the ethical and legal considerations of language testing
