- An innovative look at the social aspects of language testing, including the assessment of language use in social settings and the societal consequences of language tests.
- Considers these issues in relation to language assessment in oral proficiency interviews, and to the assessment of second language pragmatics.
- Argues that traditional approaches to ensuring social fairness in tests go some way to addressing social concerns, but a broader perspective is necessary if we are to fully understand the social dimension of language assessment.
