Direct linkHudson Kam, Carla L. – Language Learning and Development, 2018
Adult learners know that language is for communicating and that there are patterns in the language that need to be learned.

Young, Richard F. – 2000
One of the ways in which language testing interfaces with applied linguistics is in the definition and validation of the constructs that underlie language tests.
