The emergence and disappearance of the Neat discourse
Critical discursive approaches to evaluating policy-driven testing
This paper addresses the intersection of testing and policy, situating test-driven impact and validation within the context of policy-led educational reform in Korea. I will briefly review the existing validation models. Then, arguing for an expansion of the conventional conceptualization of consequential validity research, I use Fairclough’s dialectic–relational approach in critical discourse analysis (CDA), positioned in critical and poststruct…
To Realize Our Decolonization
In the 1960s, less than two decades after its liberation, South Korea was still struggling to establish its position in the postwar international order amid waves of decolonization and the Cold War. As a newly independent country, South Korea had one task it considered to be of utmost importance: gaining international recognition by demonstrating its sovereignty to the world. This article focuses on Korea's nation-building process in this context…
Suggesting a policy-driven approach to validation in the context of the Test of Proficiency in Korean (Topik)
This study suggests a conceptual framework for policy-driven test development and validation, using the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) as an example context.

This rationalizes why policy-driven test development and implementation require the analysis of multiple stakeholders,…

Focusing on discourse, style, and genre, this study illustrates how representational, identificational, and actional…
