  • Hamp‐Lyons, Liz

    Open AccessDeborah J Crusan, Deborah Crusan et al.CHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2026

    The work of Liz Hamp‐Lyons (1946–2022) in applied linguistics, particularly in the area of second language writing and second language writing assessment, continues to have an impact on the field.

  • Nativism

    Open AccessAlan DaviesCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2026

    The first sense has seen long service in the USA (Michaels, 1995; Higham, 1988) as frequent waves of immigrants were made to feel unwelcome by those (often themselves recent immigrants) who regarded only themselves as truly native.

  • Value Co-creation with Stakeholders Using Action Research as a Meta-methodology in a Funded Research Project

    Open AccessBob Dick, Shankar Sankaran et al.ARTICLEProject Management Journal2015

    A large applied research study is a challenging exercise in project management and is often unpredictable because of its complexity. In the beginning, funding bodies, ethics committees, and participating organizations expect a plan of what is intended. As the research evolves, researchers must meet the expectations of stakeholders while being responsive to the emergent reality that the research faces and partly uncovers. This article describes ac…

  • Native Speaker

    Open AccessAlan DaviesCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2012

    what is it we are appealing to? What is it that human native speakers know? What sort of knowledge does the native speaker have? The answer is ambiguous: on the one hand there is the knowledge that an individual has of his/her own linguistic system.

  • Textbook trends in teaching language testing

    Open AccessAlan DaviesARTICLELanguage Testing2008Citada por: 13Referências: 2

    The article examines changes in language testing textbooks in English since Lado (1961) and proposes that two trends may be discerned. The first shows how the growing professionalism of the field has required an expansion in teaching materials to meet the need for new training programmes. What the expansion also shows is the desire, again a mark of increasing professionalism, to provide all teaching resources from within the profession so that fo…

  • The Englishes of English tests

    Open AccessLiz Hamp‐lyon, LIZ HAMP‐LYONS et al.ARTICLEWorld Englishes2008Citada por: 5Referências: 13

    The two authors conducted a small empirical study to attempt to find support for − or evidence against − the view that international tests of English language proficiency are unfair to speakers of non-standards forms of English, since these tests privilege standard forms. We explore the question of whose norms should be imposed in these tests, and what the consequences for test-takers are if the norm imposed by the test is not the "normal" variet…

  • Singing different tunes from the same song sheet

    Open AccessShankar Sankaran, Stewart Hase et al.ARTICLEAction Research2007Citada por: 5

    In a move consistent with co-generated learning, this article is co-written by teachers of action research and a former student. Before we present the content and structure of the actual course, we write about the vital issues in teaching action research. We then describe the course and finally hear a former student (himself now supervising doctoral students) on the merits of this particular approach to learning AR as a doctoral student. This art…

  • Three heresies of language testing research

    Open AccessAlan DaviesARTICLELanguage Testing2003

    This article gives a personal view of the history of Anglo-American language testing over the last half-century. It argues that major developments in the field have tended to be embraced too enthusiastically, so that they have led to unbalanced views (or ‘heresies’) concerning the construct definition of language, the scope of test impact and the value of new methods of test delivery and analysis. The article considers in turn the move to integra…

  • Whose Norms? International Proficiency Tests in English

    Open AccessAlan Davies, Liz Hamp‐lyon et al.ARTICLEWorld Englishes2003Citada por: 12Referências: 17

    The paper reports on research into the claim that widely used English language proficiency tests are unfair (unfair in the sense that a test favouring boys could be said to be unfair to girls). The global spread of English opens a major debate on the acceptability of competing norms, whether they should be exonormative or endonormative (Davies, 1999; Gill, 1999). An International English (IE) view insists that the only acceptable norms are those …

  • Doctors’ orders for language testers

    Open AccessKimberly Boyd, Kenneth Boyd et al.ARTICLELanguage Testing2002

    Accountability in language testing, as in other professions, requires openness to stakeholders. Professions are increasingly publishing a Code of Ethics which sets out the principles governing the conduct of their members. The long tradition of medicine’s use of a Code of Ethics is discussed and the arguments in that profession with regard to openness is considered. The International Language Testing Association (ILTA) has recently agreed its own…

  • The logic of testing Languages for Specific Purposes

    Open AccessAlan DaviesARTICLELanguage Testing2001Citada por: 5Referências: 4

    The Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) project is not new. It may have dramatically extended its scope in the last 30 years through the expansion in numbers of students and trainees seeking admission to English medium courses, encouraging the diversification of ESP/EAP and EOP provision (Douglas, 2000), but the project has a longer history. This includes earlier programmes - such as, for example, German for chemists, phrase books for traveller…
