　　這是一部討論語言測(cè)試問題的學(xué)術(shù)專著，作者B·斯伯爾斯基是以色列巴依蘭大學(xué)的英語教授，從事語言測(cè)試研究多年，在這方面有豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和豐碩的成果。本書匯集了翔實(shí)的史料，介紹了客觀語言測(cè)試在20世紀(jì)的發(fā)展，為研究人員了解英語測(cè)試的歷史以及展望未來可能的發(fā)展前景提供了可貴的背景資料。全書分為兩大部分。第一部分題為“客觀語言測(cè)試的歷史”，論述了測(cè)試的驅(qū)動(dòng)力，回顧了1913—1935年間出現(xiàn)的新型語言測(cè)試，心理測(cè)量學(xué)的傳播及主導(dǎo)地位的取得，30年代語言測(cè)試技術(shù)的新發(fā)展，二戰(zhàn)期間服務(wù)于國家利益的語言測(cè)試之誕生，語言測(cè)試的專業(yè)化和1954—1965年間語言測(cè)試日趨成熟的過程。作者通過回顧語言測(cè)試發(fā)展的歷史，揭示了測(cè)試走向客觀的必然趨勢(shì)。第二部分題為“TOE—FL考試以及美國英語測(cè)試的興起”。這部分中作者回顧了TOEFL考試的醞釀、誕生及發(fā)展，論述了公共測(cè)試和學(xué)院測(cè)試的興起，并分析了機(jī)構(gòu)、政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)等因素對(duì)測(cè)試?yán)碚摰挠绊?。本書論述的?nèi)容并非語言測(cè)試?yán)碚摵蛯?shí)踐的全史，而是高度機(jī)構(gòu)化、產(chǎn)業(yè)化的測(cè)試的局部歷史。這是一部人類如何發(fā)展那些著重可靠性、高效性和商業(yè)可行性的測(cè)試的歷史。本書是一本頗有分量、富有啟發(fā)性的語言測(cè)試專著，適用于攻讀應(yīng)用語言學(xué)和外語教學(xué)理論的碩士生和博士生，可作為他們的教材或必讀參考書；對(duì)于從事語言測(cè)試發(fā)展研究和應(yīng)用的學(xué)者，也有相當(dāng)高的參考價(jià)值。
