Description

The book first offers a comprehensive review of current research in the field of academic listening assessment.

This is followed by an argument for a role for cognitive validity in assessing the extent to which a test can be said to engage processes resembling those of a real-world EAP or professional listening experience.

A concrete example is given of the type of validation criteria that can be applied across various features of a test.

A final review compares the cognitive demands faced by candidates across a range of current tests of EAP listening.
