Test results are often used to make major decisions, whether for educational or research purposes. But what intervening factors affect the reliability and validity of the tests ? And how can we design better tests ? This book draws on a theoretical framework from research in reading and language testing, and investigates the results of a set of reading comprehension tests that were delivered to 750 Japanese university students. Its objective is to improve the quality of language tests by addressing the following questions : How do different kinds of text organisation affect students' performance ? What are the effects of different response formats such as summary writing and open-ended questions ? What can examiners do to ensure that test results provide a more accurate measure of learners' language abilities ? This book aims to make the full set of the author's research findings available for the first time.
