Volume Introduction: Special Issue in Honour of James Dean Brown’s Five-Decade Contribution to Language Testing and Assessment

Abstract

It is not every day, year, or even decade that a journal dedicates an entire issue to honour the contributions of an individual scholar in the field. The purpose of this Special Issue of Language Teaching Research Quarterly is to celebrate the work of James Dean Brown, a scholar who has made an enormous impact on the field of language testing and assessment. Following his retirement from the field, this Special Issue was created in JD’s honour and is dedicated to him and his many contributions to the field.
