    Open AccessLiz Hamp-Lyons, Jane LockwoodARTICLEAnnual Review of Applied…2009

    Workplace language assessment poses special issues for language testers, but also, when it becomes very large scale, it poses issues for language policy. This article looks at these issues, focusing on the offshore and outsourcing (O&O) industry as it is transitioning from native-speaking (NS) countries into nonnative-speaking (NNS) destinations such as India and the Philippines. This is obviously most impacted in call centers, where the ability …

  • Washback, impact and validity

    Open AccessLiz Hamp-Lyons, LIZ HAMP‐LYONSARTICLELanguage Testing1997

The English proficiency test TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign…
