Description

The Power of Tests offers a critical examination of language testing within contemporary social institutions, exploring how these assessments shape educational access and professional certification. Part of the Language in Social Life series, this book investigates the profound influence of language tests on individuals and communities, analysing the mechanisms through which tests operate in modern societies and their role in determining who gains entry to educational programmes, advances through academic levels, and obtains professional credentials. The work addresses the often unexamined power dynamics embedded in testing regimes, making it essential reading for educators, linguists, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand how language assessment functions as both a mirror of and force within social structures. This critical perspective challenges conventional assumptions about testing objectivity and fairness, providing valuable insights into the relationship between language, assessment, and social inequality.
