My research mainly focuses on language assessment and my research endeavors in language assessment are founded on the notion that test validation is viewed as a process of arguing for the intended interpretation of test scores and their appropriateness for their proposed use.
This approach to language assessment research is reflected in the following major research streams: 1) developing and validating authentic listening and writing assessment; 2) validating classroom-based language assessment in interactive form; 3) developing and validating L2 vocabulary assessment; and 4) validating standard setting procedures and results.
Research Interests:
- L2 assessment
- English for specific purposes
- Standard Setting
- Statistical analyses for language study
Interests include Language assessment (integrated assessment, L2 vocabulary assessment, L2 pragmatics assessment, paired/group speaking test, and standard-setting methods); English for specific purposes; and Statistical analyses for language study
