Language Testing Matters explores the social and educational impact
of language testing and assessment at regional, national and
international level. It brings together a collection of 20 edited
papers based on proceedings of the 2008 ALTE Conference in
Cambridge. The selected papers focus on three core strands
addressed during the conference: new perspectives on testing for
specific purposes; insights on testing policy and practice in the
context of language teaching and learning in different parts of the
world; reflections on the impact of testing among differing
stakeholder groups. With its broad coverage of key issues,
combining theoretical insights and practical advice, this volume is
a valuable reference work for academics, employers and
policy-makers in Europe and beyond. It is also a useful resource
for postgraduate students of language testing, for practitioners,
and anyone else seeking a better understanding of the social and
educational impact of language assessment.
