Highlighting marginalized but significant perspectives about the
sociopolitical essence of English language tests and testing
processes worldwide, this book explores the social considerations
of testing theories and practices from a critical perspective.
Investigating concerns surrounding power inequalities, The
Sociopolitics of English Language Testing takes a socially-situated
view of language assessment, bringing sociopolitical understandings
of language teaching, learning, and assessment to the forefront in
the field. Within the broader discussion of the politics of test
use, an international team of language and education experts
address the issues of ideology, diversity, power, and dominance in
English language testing. Through socially-sensitive theoretical as
well as empirical discussion and investigation of English language
testing, this book offers valuable insights, not only to applied
linguists and the language education community who have focused on
positivistic and cognitively-oriented conceptions of language
testing, but to anyone who wishes to venture beyond the traditional
bounds of the field.
