What is required to achieve civic integration and citizenship in
nation states across the world? Should language testing be a part
of it? This book addresses the urgent need to develop a fuller
conceptual and theoretical basis for language testing than is
currently available, to enable widespread discussion of this theme
and the concomitant linguistic and cultural requirements. The
policy proposals for civic integration have so far been conducted
almost entirely at a national level, and with little regard for the
experiences of a countries with long traditions of migration, such
as the USA, Canada, the UK or Australia. At the same time, EU
enlargment and the ongoing rise in the rate of migration into and
across Europe suggest that these issues will continue to grow in
importance. This book raises the level of discussion to take
account of international developments and to promote a more
coherent and soundly based debate. It will appeal to researchers
and academics working in sociolinguistics and language education,
as well as those working on language policy.
