Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book relates language testing practice to current views of communicative language teaching and testing. It builds on the theoretical background expounded in Bachman's a href="/elt/global/isbn/0-19-437065-8/"Fundamental Considerations in Language Testing/a and examines the design, planning, and organization of tests. The book is divided into three sections which discuss 1) objectives and expectations, the context of language testing, and the abilities to be tested; 2) the process of test development, including blueprints, resources, operationalization, and scoring methods; and 3) ten examples which illustrate the principles discussed in Parts One and Two.
