"It gives me great pleasure to applaud the efforts of the co-editors and authors in producing this timely collection. These evidence-based and practical chapters are underpinned by ten learning-oriented language assessment principles proposed by the editors in their introductory chapter. Plenty of food for thought for language teachers and researchers."
