{"product_id":"from-testing-to-assessment","title":"From Testing to Assessment","description":"From Testing to Assessment: English as an International Language provides a critical review of conventional and alternative approaches to the assessment of English literacy skills in various parts of the world. It presents empirical studies conducted in three major settings: in countries such as Japan and Brazil where English functions as the language of international commernce; in multilingual countries such as Nigeria and Zimbabwe where English is the national language of education and government; and in such countries as Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States where English is the dominant language.The book opens with a discussion of language assessment in relation to debates about the nature of literacy; it concludes with a discussion of policy implications, which is grounded in literacy theory as well as in practical constraints such as available human and material resources.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247907557720,"sku":"9781138437609","price":248.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138437609.jpg?v=1777808745","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/from-testing-to-assessment","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
