Doe, Christine; Fox, Janna – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2011
The process of taking a high-stakes test stretches well beyond the day of the test itself; indeed, months may be spent preparing for such a test.

This study explores three…

Wang, Lihong; Byram, Michael – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2011
Investigations of Chinese students and their approaches to learning have emphasised a dichotomy in "western" and "Confucian" approaches to education but in a longitudinal study of Chinese postgraduate students' academic adjustment to a British university the dichotomy is less than real. The focus of this research was on an…
