This edited volume brings together the work of a number of researchers working in the framework of Processability Theory (PT), a psycholinguistic theory of second language acquisition (SLA) (Pienemann 1998; 2005). The aim of the volume is two-fold: It engages with current issues in both theory development and theory application and focuses on theoretical developments within the framework of PT as well as issues related to second language teaching and assessment. In coordinating approaches to addressing both theoretical and applied aspects of SLA, this volume aims at bridging the gap between theory and practice. It also reflects the richness of debate within the field of PT-based research. The volume is intended for postgraduate students, SLA researchers as well as language teachers. As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

Scales describing language proficiency in a series of levels can provide orientation for educational programmes, criteria for assessment, and reporting to stakeholders. However, in most cases such instruments are produced just by expert opinion. A scale of language proficiency actually implies a descriptive scheme related to theory but usable by practitioners. It also implies a methodology for scaling content to different levels. This book describes the use of both qualitative and quantitative techniques to develop scales for the «Common Reference Levels» in the Common European Framework of Reference for modern languages. Short stand-alone descriptors were (i) developed and classified, (ii) refined and elaborated in workshops, and then (iii) scaled by analyzing the judgments of one hundred teachers on the English language proficiency of the learners in their classes.

A study is presented which attempts to clarify the notion of communicative proficiency in a foreign language and which outlines an instructional model that incorporates the insights of the study. Communicative proficiency is defined as fluent mastery of the foreign language in different contexts. The definition was operationalized into discourse processing by means of an instructional model to guide teaching, choice of contents, and evaluation. An account is given of how the instructional model was used to develop a model for evaluating communicative proficiency in a foreign language. Discourse processing as a bidirectional interpreting skill is seen in terms of oral proficiency as a function of speaking and listening, and written proficiency as a function of writing and reading. A simulation of the instructional model is employed in a form in which oral proficiency is rated by written products and written proficiency by oral products. In other words, a hypothesis is made of a unitary structure of English proficiency. This hypothesis was tested by a communicative test given to third-form students in 10 senior secondary schools in Finland. The test required oral and written responses to questions about the contents of an interview heard on tape. Analysis of results showed the test to be a reliable instrument with the asset of simplicity and ease of administration. (Author/AMH)
