Fundamental considerations in technology mediated language assessment

This book is one of the few volumes to attend to fundamental considerations like validity, reliability, impact, security and fairness in the context of technology mediated language assessments. This is one of the first collections to showcase transitions and responses to emergency language assessment at the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume brings together theoretical and practical perspectives from front-liners on both high-stakes proficiency testing and low-stakes classroom assessment through the mediation of technology. This book is the first to offer solid research and experience into key assessment concerns at a time when testers were pressed to implement computer assessment techniques without the benefit of research and development.
