rams consider the construct of reading in multiple ways. it is possible to describe the reading construct in terms of purposes for reading, representative reading tasks, or cognitive processes that support comprehension. to elaborate, a number of purposes for engaging in reading can be identified, a number of representative reading tasks can be assessing reading 5 identified, and a set of cognitive processes and knowledge bases can be considered as constitutive of reading comprehension abilities. of the three alternative descriptive possibilities, reading purpose provides the most transparent explanation to a more general public as well as to test takers, text users, and other stakeholders. most people can grasp intuitively the idea of reading to learn, reading for general comprehension, reading to evaluate, expeditious reading, and so on. moreover, these purposes incorporate several key reading tasks and major component skills (many of which vary in importance depending on the specific purpose), …

complex matching tasks of various types, multiple choice items, short response items, and summary writing (once again). ielts (the international english language testing system) similarly expanded its coverage of the purposes for reading to include reading for specific information, reading for main ideas, reading to evaluate, and reading to identify a topic or theme. recent versions of the ielts include an academic version and a general training version. the ielts academic version increased the amount of reading required, and it includes short response items of multiple types, matching of various types, several complex readings with diagrams and figures, and innovative fill-in summary tasks. the ibt toefl has similarly revised its reading section based on the framework of reader purpose. four reading purposes were initially considered in the design of ibt toefl reading assessment: reading to find information, reading for basic comprehension, reading to learn, and reading to integrate (chapelle, enright, …

of reading to learn or reading to evaluate. at the same time, a number of component reading abilities are obviously absent, reflecting the limitations of international standardized reading assessment imposed by cost, time, reliability demands, and fairness across many country settings. (standardized english l1 reading assessment practices are far more complex.) these limited operationalizations of l2 reading abilities are noted by alderson, weir and milanovic , grabe , and khalifa and weir . among the abilities that the new ibt toefl did not pursue are word recognition efficiency, reading to scan for information, summarizing, and reading to integrate information from multiple texts. khalifa and weir (2009) note that the cambridge suite did not pursue reading to scan, reading to skim, or reading rate (fluency). all three come under the umbrella term “expeditious reading” and, for their analysis, this gap represents a limitation in the way the reading construct has been …

wareness and discourse organization, 6. strategic processing abilities, 7. summarization abilities (and paraphrasing), 8. synthesis skills, 9. complex evaluation and critical reading. how select aspects of these abilities find their ways into standardized l2 reading assessment practices is an important challenge for the future. although researchers working with standardized reading tests have made a serious effort to capture crucial aspects of the component abilities of reading comprehension , construct validity still represents a major challenge for l2 reading assessment because the number and the types of assessment tasks are strictly constrained in the context of standardized testing. if the construct is underrepresented by the test, it is difficult to claim that reading comprehension abilities are being fully measured. this difficulty also suggests that efforts to develop an explanation of the reading construct from l2 reading tests face the challenge of construct assessing reading 7 underrepresentation in the very tests being …
