This volume reports research that informs the development of reading and
listening assessment in IELTS. This volume brings together a set of
eight IELTS-related research studies - four on reading and four on
listening - conducted between 2005 and 2010. Findings from these studies
provide valuable evidence on the validity, reliability, impact and
practicality of the IELTS test; they are also instrumental in
highlighting aspects needing attention, and thus directly inform the
continuing evolution of the IELTS reading and listening tests. The
volume reviews and comments on the specific contribution of each study
to the ongoing process of IELTS reading and listening test design and
development.
