Part 1. Connecting assessment, learners, and learning. Developing students' self-assessment skills : the role of the teacher / Young learners' processes and rationales for responding to self-assessment items : cases of generic can-do and five-point, Likert-type formats / The impact of self-assessment on learning and teaching in technology-mediated language education : user perceptions of the teletandem tracking sheet / An integrated approach to foreign language instruction and assessment / Using assessment to promote learning : clarifying constructs, theories, and practices / Part 2. Innovating, framing, and exploring assessment in language education. Linguistic correlates of proficiency (LCP) : at the intersection of testing and teaching / Face-to-face speaking assessment in the digital age : interactive speaking tasks online / Task-based language assessment for L1 and L2 speakers in primary education : designing a useful task-specification framework / Predicting placement accuracy and language outcomes in immigrants' L2 Finnish education / Part 3.

This volume, derived from papers presented at the 2016 GURT conference, seeks to explore research and examples of practice of assessment and evaluation in language education. The specific--and varied--ways in which assessment and evaluation are able to impact learning and teaching have become an important language education research concern, particularly as educators are increasingly called upon to implement these processes for improvement, accountability, or curricular development purposes. This volume is divided into three parts, each exploring a different element of the conversation around assessment: "Connecting assessment, learners, and learning"; "Innovating, framing, and exploring assessment in language education"; and "Validity evaluation."
