Abstract :Justifying the appropriateness of test use for a particular purpose is critical in language testing. The tools used for assessment need to be continually evaluated before and after their use. Arguments regarding the validity of interpretations based on test performances can be developed from various aspects. Two of these aspects are justification for scoring and comparison against external measures. The current paper reports on an investigation of scoring validity and criterion related validity with regard to a set of reading tasks developed for second language (L2) learners of Turkish. The findings provide a preliminary base to develop validity arguments regarding the tasks, but also call for revisions.
Keywords : Scoring validity, criterion related validity, assessing reading in Turkish as a second language
