Abstract
Interpreter certification performance testing (ICPT) has developed rapidly over the years. Yet there has been very limited discussion and systematic research conducted to enhance reliability and validity of high-stakes interpreter certification performance tests (ICPTs). This interdisciplinary mixed-methods research was therefore initiated to build theoretical and methodological foundations for rater-mediated ICPTs, with a special focus on test validation, construct definition and rater/score reliability for English/Chinese ICPTs in China.
