- Series Description
The first Cambridge English examination for non-native speakers was taken by three candidates in 1913. Today, the exams are taken by nearly four million people a year in 130 countries and cover a wide range of needs, from English for young learners to specific qualifications for university entrance and professional use. Throughout their history, the Cambridge English exams have been designed to meet the changing needs of learners, teachers, universities, employers and official bodies, and to deliver educational and social benefits. They have benefited from - and contributed to - research in education, language learning and assessment to ensure that they offer valid, reliable and fair qualifications. This book traces the history of the exams through their first hundred years, setting them in the context of wider educational and academic developments. The authors pay particular attention to the contribution of the dedicated individuals in Cambridge and around the world who have contributed to the success of the exams and to their positive educational impact. It will be of interest to anyone interested in language teaching and assessment, applied linguistics or educational history, and to the thousands of people who are part of the wider Cambridge Assessment English network.
Focusing on important developments in language testing, this series has been produced by the
University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate in conjunction with Cambridge University
Press. These will be of considerable interest to test users, language-test developers, and researchers.
