2. TOEFL Preparation Courses: A Study of Washback.

Author

Alderson, J. Charles and Hamp-Lyons, Liz

Abstract

Presents a case study of the effects of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) on two teachers in the same institution. The study investigates claims that the TOEFL exerts an undesirable influence on language teaching. Findings reveal that influences on what happens in class are more complex than unexamined beliefs about washback allow. (21 references) (Author/CK)
