This book documents a major study comparing the Cambridge First
Certificate in English (FCE) with the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) to investigate similarities in test content,
candidature and use. While both tests were designed to measure many
of the same abilities, they represent radically different
approaches to language test development, reflecting deeper
differences between educational measurement traditions in the US
and UK. The thorough investigation of the fundamental
characteristics and operational utility of two of the most widely
used English tests for foreign students makes this study a valuable
contribution to language testing research. As such, it will be of
considerable interest to language testing specialists and
examination boards, as well as to academic researchers and graduate
students in the field of language assessment more generally.
