Published in cooperation with Equinox Publishing, the books offer both a theoretical and a practical perspective to language testing and assessment - proposing, where required, models of development, which are reflected in actual test tasks. They are unique in that they are authored by individuals with considerable academic, teaching and assessmsnt experience, thus offering the reader a unique insight into the link between theory and practice in the area. In many, although not all cases, the books illustrate their approach with reference to actual test items, from the British Council's Aptis test service.
