英语翻译Globalization or Localization:Where do Language Tests Go

英语翻译Globalization or Localization:Where do Language Tests Go?【Abstract】The separation into international tests for the management of international movement of young people into advanced study programs,and national/local tests for study purposes within students’ own countries,drives the people concerned to think about the way forward of language tests,particularly English language proficiency tests.What’s at issue here is not ‘globalization or localization?’,but that ‘when and how to globalize and when and how to localize?’.‘Globalization’ and ‘localization’ are not exclusive to each other,but rather complementary to some extent.【Key Words】test,globalization,localization
