Ovaj rad se bavi definisanjem konstrukta i njegovom operacionalizacijom putem tekstova i zadataka odabranih kako bi se testiralo razumevanje pročitanog teksta u standardizovanom testu kao što je TOEFL iBT. Kako definisanje konstrukta predstavlja težak zadatak kako za istraživače tako i za iskusne tvorce testova, daje se predlog potencijalnih metoda koje na tom putu mogu biti od pomoći. U drugom delu rada pristupa se analizi sposobnosti koje se smatraju potrebnim kako bi kandidat pokazao da može sa efikasnošću da procesuira pročitani tekst, razume ga i odgovori na pitanja kakva se postavljaju u ovom testu. Tekstovi su iz domena akademske sredine koja ujedno predstavlja i ciljni jezički domen. Imajući u vidu da se ovaj test realizuje uz pomoć računara i interneta, daje se pregled formata ispitnih pitanja koja se koriste u testu i koja, zajedno sa tekstovima na osnovu kojih su formirana, predstavljaju način da se konstrukt operacionalizuje.
