It consists of the introduction and the conclusion parts, which provides an overall glimpse of the whole research design and its implementation processes. This study, utilizing the evidence-based “Socio-cognitive” Framework for test validation as its theoretical basis, employs some traditional validation study methodologies, such as questionnaire survey and verbal protocol, and explores some innovative technologies such as data-mining and eye-tracking. The research findings not only enrich the validation evidence of the three tests, CET-6, IELTS and TOEFL iBT, for decision-making references for study, employment and migration for education, human resources and other relevant stakeholders, but also offer references for comparative validation studies of other language assessments in methodologies and ways of thinking.
