Series: The Routledge Handbooks in Second Language Acquisition

This Handbook, with 45 chapters written by the world’s leading scholars in second language acquisition (SLA) and language testing, dives into the important interface between SLA and language testing: shared ground where researchers seek to measure second language performance to better understand how people learn their second languages. The Handbook also reviews how to best measure and evaluate the second language (L2) learners’ personal characteristics, backgrounds, and learning contexts to better understand their L2 learning trajectories. Taking a transdisciplinary approach to research, the book builds upon recent theorizing and measurement principles from the fields of applied linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, psycholinguistics, psychometrics, educational measurement, and social psychology. The Handbook is divided into six key sections: (1) Assessment concepts for SLA researchers, (2) Building instruments for SLA research, (3) Measuring individual differences, (4) Measuring language development, (5) Testing specific populations, and (6) Measurement principles for SLA researchers.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Language Testing

The Handbook of SLA and Language Testing is a wonderful volume that shows how SLA and language testing combined into one transdisciplinary research space has incredible power to move L2 learning theory into solid, new, and exciting grounds. Paula Winke and Tineke Brunfaut's stewardship over the chapters in this volume has given rise to a Handbook that will be read, consulted, and cited for years to come. --Jamie Schissel, University of North Carolina, USA.
