Abstract
In this chapter we will focus on the process of validating a post-entry language assessment (PELA). It is important that any assessment should meet professional standards of quality and should produce meaningful measures of the students’ academic language ability, so that advisors, administrators and teaching staff — not to mention the students themselves — can make informed decisions about enhancing the language skills of the students who need it.
