| Abstract | The paper assesses the performance of a vocabulary test designed to measure second language productive vocabulary knowledge. The test, Lex30, uses a word association task to elicit vocabulary, and uses word frequency data to measure the vocabulary produced. In the article, the authors report firstly on the reliability of the test as measured by a test-retest study, a parallel test forms experiment and an internal consistency measure. They then investigate the construct validity of the test by looking at changes in test performance over time, analyses of correlations with scores on similar tests, and comparison of spoken and written test performance. Last, they examine the theoretical bases of the two main test components: eliciting vocabulary and measuring vocabulary. Interpretations of the findings are discussed in the context of test validation research literature. The authors conclude that the findings reported present a robust argument for the validity of the test as a research tool, and encourage further investigation of its validity in an instructional context.
