Event: Symposium Language Testing in Austria: Towards a Research Agenda
Master data
| Title: | Symposium Language Testing in Austria: Towards a Research Agenda |
| Description: | The purpose of the symposium is to jointly work towards a research agenda for language testing in the Austrian context for the next five years. Since the main focus of language testing research is on validation in its widest sense, an adapted version of Cyril Weir’s Framework for Test Validation is used as the basis for organising the discussion and work. The outcome of the symposium is supposed to be a manifesto for language testing research in Austria which will be made public in an appropriate format. |
| Keywords: | Language test development, National educational standards tests, National school-leaving examination, Tertiary-level language testing, Language testing research, Validation, Classical test theory, Probabilistic test theory |
