Demand is steadily growing for language tests with a specialized
focus which will suit the needs of key professional domains as
diverse as business, law, the airline industry, and teacher
education. This book explores the testing of language for sepcific
purposes (LSP) from a theoretical and a practical perspective, with
a particular focus on the testing of English for business purposes.
A range of tests - both past and present - is reviewed, and the
development of business English testing at Cambridge ESOL is
discussed. The description of the revision of the Business English
Certificates (BEC) forms a major part of the book and offers a
unique insight into an approach to large-scale ESP test development
and revision.
