Testcraft: A Teacher's Guide to Writing and Using Language Test Specifications provides a practical guide to developing language tests through the use of test specifications. The book explains how teachers, language educators, administrators, and test developers can participate in the test-development process without requiring extensive training in psychometrics, educational measurement, or statistics. It examines the nature and components of test specifications, common problems in specification writing, and the process of building tests from specifications. The book also discusses the mandate and constraints that shape test development, the roles of members within a test-development team, and the broader agency of testcraft. Drawing on criterion-referenced measurement and language assessment research, it emphasizes an iterative and consensus-based approach to test development in which specifications provide a blueprint for producing appropriate test items and tasks. Appendices provide essential concepts in language testing and guidance for teaching specification writing.
