Drawing empirical research on a variety of languages, the volume discusses local language tests? ability to represent local contexts and values, explicitly and purposefully embed test results within instructional practice, and provide data for program evaluation and research. Although local testing practices have been grounded in the theoretical principles of language testing, the authors in this volume supplement the theoretical content with practical examples of how local tests can be designed to effectively function within and across different institutional contexts. . 410 0$aEducational Linguistics,$x2215-1656 ;$v61 606 $aLanguage and languages?Study and teaching 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aEducational tests and measurements 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aAssessment and Testing 606 $aAdquisició d'una segona llengua$2thub 606 $aTests d'aptitud$2thub 606 $aTests i proves en educació$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLanguage and languages?Study and teaching. 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aAssessment and Testing. 615 7$aAdquisició d'una segona llengua 615 7$aTests d'aptitud 615 7$aTests i proves en educació 676 $a418.0076 700 $aYan$b Xun$01377641 701 $aDimova$b Slobodanka$01377642 701 $aGinther$b April$01377643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735397503321 996 $aLocal Language Testing$93415148 997 $aUNINA
