With the advent of the 21st century, it's more important than ever to be able to have good communication skills with 'global villagers'. As the need to acquire foreign language skills is ever-increasing on the part of society as a whole, as well as individuals. so is the overwhelming challenge the discipline of language testing is to meet. In order to look to the future, language testers, computational linguistics, and computer scientists have made interdisciplinary efforts to incorporate state-of the art multimedia technology into comtuterized language testing system on the basis od sound theoretical frameworks of applied linguistics and psychometrics. Among tje most noteworthy technology are Natural Language Processing and Automatic Speech Recognition, both of which have demonstrated a great potential to empower performance testing by enhancing practicality and reliability. Recent research into the use of NLP technology has revealed encouraging results of implementing an automatic essay scoring system to measure writing ability. The current study also dis-closes the possibility of hamessing ASR technology to assess pronunciation. In this context, the present research attempts to overview the current developnments of performance testing and to explore its future directions in terms of applicability of computer technology to developing more vaild measurement tools.
