Reviews

This is a timey and interesting volume that will appeal to those interested in using technology in their instructional and assessment practices. It is a much-welcomed addition to the literature on technology-mediated language assessment. It also offers important guidelines for navigating assessment in different instructional settings in times of crisis. I strongly recommend this book! - Atta Gebril, The American University in Cairo, Egypt This important book is both timely in its message and massively encouraging in the way in which the individual chapters reflect the creativity of language testers from across the world in dealing with the disruption caused by Covid. In challenging our perceptions of how to establish evidence of test quality in terms of development and delivery the authors call into question much current thinking on validation. Two strong messages ring out from these pages. The first relates to the need to broaden our validation evidence base to embrace qualitative as well as quantitative evidence. The second is the way in which context is rightfully recognised as a critical factor in any validation argument. This book should be seen as core reading for any language testing programme. - Professor Barry O'Sullivan, British Council
