Abstract
Interpretation is a typical direct language behavior with special purpose. The test design and task of interpretation testing of China, for a long time, is quite simple. And a specialized business negotiation interpretation test has not yet been researched. The purpose of this research is to build a test development framework for a new business negotiation interpretation test, under the relatively matured language testing theory—as directed by the combined guidance of language performance testing and language for special purposes testing theory. Thus will guide researchers to the feasible development and validation steps in future.
