Improving the Psychometric, Criterion-Referenced, and Practical Qualities of Integrative Language Tests.

Cziko, Gary A.

TESOL Quarterly, v16 n3 p367-79 Sep 1982

Describes an attempt to construct an ESL dictation test that would: (1) be appropriate for a wide range of ability, (2) be easy and fast to score, (3) consist of set items that would form both a unidimensional and cumulative scale, and (4) yield scores that would be directly interpretable with respect to specified levels of English proficiency.
