Abstract
Language Testing and Assessment: From Theory to Practice is a systematic, comprehensive introduction to language testing and assessment, conceived to help bridge the gap between theory and classroom practice. The book addresses a long-standing problem in the field, the persistent gap between assessment theory and the realities of language teaching, especially for practitioners who need principled but operational guidance rather than abstract psychometric exposition.
