Usiing Verbal Protocols in Language Test Validation aims to provide potential practitioners with the background to the technique and a good understanding of what is entailed in using VPA in the specific context of language testing and assessment.
Tutorial exercises are presented which enable the reader to try out each of the different steps involved in VPA.
