Yet many fundamental problems in performance based assessment still remain. This book provides a critical examination of the practice and theory behind performance based assessment in the context of second language learning. It also offers the first comprehensive presentation of a new measurement approach - Rasch Measurement, which enables investigation of aspects of performance setting (rater and task characteristics for example) to determine their effect on the scores awarded to candidates and to manage this variability fairly.  7aLanguage and languagesxAbility testing.2BUEsh99082 7aLanguage and languagesxExaminations.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcAugust2018  vReading book934232  2ddccBB  c2632d2632  00102ddc40708unknownaMAINbMAINc2NDd2007-04-17ePurchasel0o418.0076	 MCNp000001576r2024-06-11 00:00:00yBB
