By showcasing international examples of successful digital and computer-assisted proficiency and skills testing, the volume addresses theoretical and practical concerns relating to test validity, reliability, ethics, and student experience in a range of testing contexts. Particular attention is given to identifying lessons and implications for future research and practice, and the challenges of implementing unplanned computer assisted language assessment during a crisis. Insightfully unpacking the 'lessons learned' from Covid and its impact on the acceleration of the shift towards online course and assessment delivery, it offers important guidelines for navigating assessment in different instructions settings in times of crisis. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, educators and faculty with interests in assessment and testing, digital education and technology, and language assessment and testing.
