Více o knize

This publication is targeted at: • decision-makers in university language teaching and testing (e.g. heads of university language centres or language departments); • teachers and testers of languages for specific purposes in higher education; • language teacher educators; • other stakeholders in university-level language instruction and assessment. Guidelines for task-based university language testing is a practical manual for those language teachers and testers who are looking for a valid tool to measure their students' language skills in a meaningful way. It shows how to link the language skills taught with those needed in studies and later in working life. It helps language instructors, who already conduct task-based language courses, to design corresponding tests and to evaluate their students' language performance. The publication also highlights the benefits of task-based language testing for all the stakeholders.
