The volume includes a brief introduction followed by four main chapters focusing on critical developments in theories and practices for assessing reading, listening, writing, and speaking, of which the latter two also address the assessment of integrated skills such as reading-writing, listening-speaking, and reading-listening-speaking. Each chapter reviews new task types, scoring approaches, and scoring technologies and their implications in light of the increasing use of technology in academic communication and the growing use of English as a lingua franca worldwide. The volume concludes with recommendations about critical areas of research and development that will help move the field forward. \u003ci\u003eAssessing Academic English for Higher Education Admissions \u003c\/i\u003eis an ideal resource for researchers and graduate students in language testing and assessment worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXiaoming Xi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Chief of Product, Assessment and Learning at VIPKID International, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn M.
