The Spanish Language Testee Profile: Issues in Standardized Language Testing
Garcia Laborda, Jesus
Online Submission, Procedia: Social and Behavioral Sciences v190 p545-549 2015
Spain is currently living a transitional situation. In 2013 a new educational law was passed, the Organic Law that Modifies the Quality of Education (LOMCE). That law, among many other aspects, introduces the use of standardized external tests either to (1) guide or provide suggestions for the educational track, or (2) to obtain inferences towards to what further studies should students follow (whether professional training and the academic Baccalaureate). This is especially a problem because language is one of the worst subjects for many Spanish students. This presentation is aimed at describing these problems along with a framework of how they can be solved. [Paper presented the 2nd Global Conference on Psychology Researches, 28-29, November 2014.]
