Abstract
In this study, I review four papers by Stoeckel and Bennett, Shin, McDonald and Asaba, and McLean, Kramer, and Stewart. I will then summarize the validation evidence reported in each paper, in order to argue for the validity of the interpretations of the test scores as well as the uses of the tests considered in these four studies. This will help clarify areas of future research and strengthen the need for ties between specialists in the field of second language vocabulary assessment and general language assessment.
