This book addresses the need for tests that can diagnose the strengths and weaknesses in
learners developing foreign language proficiency. It presents the rationale for, and research
surrounding, the development of DIALANG, a suite of internet-delivered diagnostic foreign
language tests funded by the European Commission. The word diagnosis is common in
discussions in language education and applied linguistics, but very few truly diagnostic tests
exist. However, the diagnosis of foreign language proficiency is central to helping learners
make progress. This volume explores the nature of diagnostic testing, emphasizing the need
for a better understanding of the nature
oř
appropriate diagnosis.
The book starts with a debate about how diagnostic testing might most appropriately be
developed. J. Charles Alderson argues that the field has neglected to construct diagnostic tests,
partly because other forms of testing have dominated the field. Alderson examines how
proficiency has been diagnosed in the key areas of language: reading, listening, writing, grammar
and vocabulary. The value ol sclt-assessment is discussed and exemplified as a key component
in developing learners , and teachers , awareness of the complexity of language learning. The book
ends with a consideration of, and recommendations tor, future developments in the diagnosis of
foreign language proficiency.
