Behind The Test

Behind the Test, by Fiona Aish and Jo Tomlinson, is a podcast for ELT teachers, test writers, materials developers, and anyone interested in language assessment. Language testing is a huge field of study, and once you start scratching the surface, it’s easy to find it daunting. Behind the Test gives you a first look at this complex field, breaking themes and issues down and drawing on our experience to connect them to real world contexts. We don’t have all the answers — spoiler: no one does — but we think testing is worth talking about. Get in touch: test@target-english.eu
