The assessment of language learners is of growing importance in English language teaching and applied linguistics. While there has been a considerable body of work undertaken on assessing the writing abilities of language learners, the issues surrounding the assessment of learners' speaking abilities are still emerging. This book combines theoretical insights into speaking ability, reference to key research findings and practical advice on how to design and develop suitable assessment tasks.
