About this title

Synopsis

245 pages : 24 cm. Reidun Oanæs Andersen has retired from the position of director of Norsk språktest (the University of Bergen/Folkeuniversitetet), a post which she has held for the last two decades. Through her work, ­Reidun has made an ­enormous contribution to the professionalisation of the field of language ­testing in Norway. Reidun's professionalism, as well as her openheartedness, and amazing energy, care and concern for everyone around her, has made her a treasured colleague and friend to many, both within and outside Norway. This volume is entitled A Human Touch to Language Testing, and the ­contributions address language assessment issues, primarily in a ­European or Nordic context. The focus of the articles varies, ranging from broad, general perspectives on language assessment to specific case studies examining test validation and second language acquisition.
