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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938886222112,"sku":"NEW0521163919","price":79.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/language-testing-matters-investigating-the-wider-social-and-educational-impact-of-assessment-proceedings-of-the-alte-cambridge-conference-april-2008-studies-in-language-testing-0521163919","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
