How to design a valid AI speaking test?

Ever since ClarityEnglish launched the Dynamic Placement Test in 2017, the ambition has been to complement it with a speaking test. But the problem was always: How do we deliver a speaking test that has the same qualities of reliability, validity and speed as DPT? What use is an automated test if the accuracy of the results is unreliable? What if the tasks are so inauthentic they don’t actually measure someone’s ability to use English in real situations?
