This book explores the influence of high stakes standardised
testing within the context of South Korea. South Korea is regarded
as a shining example of success in educational achievement and, as
this book reveals, pressurised standardised testing has been a
major contributing factor to its success. This unique country
provides an excellent setting from which to explore the powerful
relationship that exists between testing and learning and can
advance our understanding of which factors and test conditions will
positively and negatively influence learning. This book follows the
test activity of a group of Korean university students preparing
for the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) and
posits a revised model of the influence of testing on learning. It
calls for a more socially situated view of tests and test-takers
considered in relation to the sociocultural, historical, political
and economic contexts in which they are embedded.
