Reading and use of English:
This book helps students and teachers prepare for modern European examinations by developing, through a wide variety of English practice tasks, the skills needed not only to pass examinations, but also to use English in the real world. The authors review the process of reading, what skills and subskills are involved and how these can be tested. They also discuss modern approaches to the testing of grammar and vocabulary – the use of the language.
The practice tasks, based on authentic texts, were developed at different levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework, in accordance with modern European testing principles and practice. All the tasks were tried out on large samples of real students in real secondary schools.
The reader will find the Answer Keys and explanations especially useful.
The Speaking Handbook:
This handbook provides an introduction to the assessment of speaking ability. It is aimed at those language teachers who need to learn how to design, administer or prepare students for tests of speaking ability.

They stress the importance of the roles of interlocutor and assessor in speaking assessments, and the Handbook presents a step-by-step description of the procedures that should be used in the training of interlocutors and assessors. The Handbook is accompanied by a DVD that illustrates various speaking activities in different examination modes (individual vs. paired exams). In addition, it includes a selection of benchmarked performances representing different levels on the Common European Framework, which have been assessed by a group of experts.
