本書是劍橋語言測試研究系列叢書的其中一部,由Aleidine J. Moeller,John W. Creswell & Nick Saville主編。本書全面闡述了語言測試研究中的混合研究方法(Mixed Methods Research),既有對混合研究方法和語言測評的理論探討,也有展示混合研究方法在語言測評開發(fā)和研究中實施的案例。本書對于我國的語言測評研究人員是不可多得的研究方法參考書目。本書共分為四個部分:第一部分聚焦語言測評與混合研究方法結(jié)合時要考慮的基本因素,第二部分探討開展混合研究方法研究的重要組成部分、主要步驟和考慮因素,第三部分展示語言測評領(lǐng)域采用混合研究方法的個案研究,第四部分提出混合研究方法在實際應用中的建議。
