Language Testing in Focus: An International Journal

Language testing has developed as a field that broadly extends to educational, societal and economic contexts (Yildiz, 2019). However, the past edited volumes grappling with the main themes in language testing are primarily exclusive and typically limited. Most insights are either heavily dominant to Western English-speaking countries or focused on problem resolutions. There is rarely any publication that unveils human infallibilities or misinterpretations in various contexts across countries. To address these gaps, Betty Lanteigne, Christine Coombe, and James Dean Brown jointly co-edit this book. These renowned scholars aim to focus on a broader view of conventional policy, test development, practice, and research. Against this backdrop, the insights-driven can be more meaningful and applicable to wider audiences. Indeed, this is an extraordinary book that highlights multiple perspectives in terms of choosing the authors, themes, and chapters.
