Problems and Issues in Linking Assessments across Languages.
Sireci, Stephen G.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v16 n1 p12-19,29 Spr 1997
Different methodologies for linking tests across languages are reviewed and evaluated, focusing on monolingual item response theory, bilingual group designs, and matched monolingual group designs. These methods, although not without weaknesses, are superior for promoting score comparability than methods that rely on translation or expert judgment alone. (SLD)
