From time to time, the annual Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) publishes itspapers. Kunnan, his contributors, and Erlbaum are to be commended for a rich, well edited, andthematically unified offering. Some wise decisions were made: author-provided abstracts,references following each paper, author-provided annotated bibliographies, and a rich index. Thisis more than a collection of conference papers. It is a book in its own right with the potential tobecome a textbook on language test validation.
