Investigating concerns surrounding power inequalities, \u003ci\u003eThe Sociopolitics of English Language Testing\u003c\/i\u003e takes a socially-situated view of language assessment, bringing sociopolitical understandings of language teaching, learning, and assessment to the forefront in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin the broader discussion of the politics of test use, an international team of language and education experts address the issues of ideology, diversity, power, and dominance in English language testing. Through socially-sensitive theoretical as well as empirical discussion and investigation of English language testing, this book offers valuable insights, not only to applied linguists and the language education community who have focused on positivistic and cognitively-oriented conceptions of language testing, but to anyone who wishes to venture beyond the traditional bounds of the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seyyed-Abdolhamid Mirhosseini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350277940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350277946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Seyyed-Abdolhamid Mirhosseini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450288697599,"sku":"9781350277946","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a308b51-26e8-421a-888e-fd7064c300c6.jpg?v=1698503943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sociopolitics-of-english-language-seyyed-abdolhamid-mirhosseini-9781350277946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
