C-Test construct validity: Evidence from nonparametric item response theory

Language Testing in Asia
C-Test is a gap-filling test designed to measure first and second language proficiency. Over the past four decades, researchers have shown the fit of C-Test data to parametric item response theory (IRT) models, but no study so far has shown the fit of C ...
