Construct Validation of a Diagnostic L2 Listening Test: An Operational Model Utilized and Multidimensionality Issues Revisited

The present study was exploratory to bring a new perspective to multidimensionality issues in language testing. It encouraged testing experts to revisit the issues of multidimensionality from the perspective of test users' views. It argues for the meaningfulness of test users' needs and wants to raise a potential shift toward post-psychometric approach in the development of multidimensional language tests. This study can be placed in the broad project of exploring multidimensional nature of language tests.
