Modern Language Testing at the Turn of the Century: Assuring That What We Count Counts.

Bachman, Lyle F.

Language Testing, v17 n1 p1-42 Jan 2000

Reviews developments in language testing research and practice over the last 20 years, and suggests future directions in the areas of professionalizing the field and validation research. Argues that concerns for ethical conduct must be grounded in valid test use, so that professionalization and validation research are inseparable. (Author/VWL)
