Language Testing Updates at on
     
 
Language Testing: January
A very Happy New Year to visitors to the Language Testing Resources Site. A new podcast on the use of fuzzy logic in scoring performance tests will be available shortly. There's also still time to take a look at the Language Testing Review of the Year, in which we scrutinize some of the top language testing stories of 2011. Other features are planned for 2012, but in the meantime there are daily updates to most pages on the site, including the language testing news on this page.

What is Language Testing?
                    

ETS Fellowships & Internships: In December and January applications are invited for a range of opportunities at ETS. Details here. Coming Soon: Lots of new stuff planned for 2012. Enjoy the current review of the year, and there will be a new feature along towards the Spring. Most pages, including jobs and news updated on a daily basis.

Current Feature:

Click on the 'Features' link to see selected topics that have previously appeared in the features slot. These are changed up to four times a year, providing short pieces on subjects of interest to students of language testing and assessment.

The Language Testing Bookstore is an Amazon affiliate. We try to keep the store up to date with all books on language testing currently in print. These are arranged under a number of categories from general texts, to specialist areas of testing and assessment. You can also find texts on educational measurement and statistics that are commonly used in language testing programmes. All books ordered through the bookstore are delivered by Amazon.

Humour
Testing and assessment is serious because it can affect the lives of test takers, institutions, and society. But like all human and social activities, there is a humorous side as well. So after all the heavy stuff in the rest of this website, you may enjoy looking at testing in a rather different way, in the humour page, where you'll find video, audio, cartoons and other fun stuff related to testing and assessment.
