| Description: | The paper discusses the variability of test takers’ performances across different language tasks. We concentrate attention on this aspect of variability because inconsistent achievement by test takers across tasks has emerged as a significant threat to reliability and validity. The first section of the chapter addresses how language testers have traditionally conceptualized and measured variability, while the second part advocates an alternate way of thinking about the issue. Our intent should not be construed as a defense of or apology for the dominant paradigm employed by many language testers |
