About this title

Synopsis

This collection reflects, and responds to, the growing international interest in the theme of individualization. More specifically, it brings forward many of the current issues, problems, and hopes of the movement towards individualizing the assessment of language abilities. Independence and internationalism are two of the most noteworthy markers of this movement. It is not tied to any particular school or "brand" of linguistics, or any single approach or trend in language teaching. Nor does it presume any one testing method or measure. Similarly, the interest in individualization does not have a nationalistic slant, or a geographic centre. These papers sample and represent this great diversity in professional interests and origins. As a result, they are of interest to the classroom teacher as well as the linguist and the teacher of teachers, to those concerned with large-scale assessment, as well as those concerned about that one individual who, when taking a test, always takes it personally.
