Abstract

This chapter examines the evolving landscape of language assessment by integrating classical principles, ethical imperatives, and technological innovations. It highlights three persistent gaps: the dominance of descriptive typologies, the neglect of fairness and learner well-being, and the superficial treatment of digital tools such as AI and adaptive testing. Through a structured synthesis of key literature and seminal works, the chapter proposes an ethical and transformative model built on six dimensions: fairness and inclusivity, transparency and accountability, student well-being, pedagogical integration, technological mediation, and sustainability. Case examples from Indonesia, China, and international testing contexts illustrate applications at classroom, institutional, and policy levels. By reframing assessment as both pedagogical and ethical practice, the chapter contributes to global debates on inclusive and sustainable education, aligning with lifelong learning and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
