| Talking about Language Assessment is the first book of its kind in that it follows an interview-based approach with a narrative/discursive style to the history of language assessment. The edited volume comes under Routledge New Perspectives in Language Assessment Series (jointly edited by Antony Kunnan and James Purpura) and includes interviews originally published in Language Assessment Quarterly (LAQ) from 2004 to 2014. The interviews were conducted with 12 distinguished figures on language assessment and second language acquisition who are, also, prolific researchers with influential contributions to the field: John Carroll, Merrill Swain, Alain Davis, John Trim, Bernard Spolsky, Kenji Ohtomo, Charles Stanfield, Elana Shohamy, Gui Shichun, Lyle Bachman, Charles Alderson, and Liz Hamp-Lyons. 'The volume allows readers to see each interviewee's language assessment story as the interviewees reveal what they were thinking at the time and what led them to investigate the intellectual questions addressed in their work' (pp. viii-ix). The book is intended as a useful resource for undergraduate and post graduate students in applied linguistics as well as researchers working on language assessment. In addition to a Series Editor Preface, the book consists of an Introduction, twelve chapters, and an Index. The chapters follow more or less the same structure: background information such as the names of the interviewee/s and the interviewer/s, the place and, in some chapters, the date of the interview, the interview channel (on the phone, face to face, via email), the duration of the interview, the interview transcript, an introduction to the interviewee's academic and social life, and notes. Some interview chapters are also appended with additional information such as: acknowledgments, references/resources, the interviewees' publications and updates where needed. In the Series Editor Preface, James Purpura provides a brief history of language assessment in foreign languages and in English as a Foreign Language. |
