Assessing Academic English for Higher Education Admissions

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Considering the increasingly complex geo- and socio-political context of language testing, there is no better time to revisit both theories and practices of testing English for Academic Purposes (EAP), especially for admission purposes. The volume moves us forward with renewed understandings of EAP."

Eunice Eunhee Jang, University of Toronto, Canada.

"This volume makes a timely contribution to the language testing and assessment literature by building on both seminal work and important recent developments related to English language testing for higher education admission purposes. Each of the chapters is written by a team of leading thinkers and researchers and sets out the state-of-the-art knowledge in language assessment in each of the four skills and in combination the chapters set direction for the field for future generations of language assessments. This book will most certainly become required reading for researchers, test developers, graduate students, and interested admissions officers alike."
