Internationalization and Language Assessment in Brazil: Exploring the
Interface between Language Proficiency and Rankings at UFES
- Authors: Kyria Rebeca Finardi, Gabriel Brito Amorim, Cláudia J. Kawachi-Furlan
  First page: 139
  Abstract: The study is based on the assumption that knowledge of English is an important factor in the internationalization of higher education and that the English without Borders program has positively affected the overall level of proficiency in English as well as internationalization levels in Brazil. So as to verify this hypothesis, the study analyzed the interface between English proficiency levels measured with the TOEFL ITP test and internationalization scores measured in terms of rankings in a federal university in Brazil. Results of the study suggest that during the period analyzed these two variables remained stable, thus confirming the hypothesis raised.

ISBN: 978-1-138-85687-5 (pbk)
- Authors: Dunlai Lin, Sen Liu
  First page: 155
  Abstract: The pendulum of L2 pronunciation research has swung back to a time when there is a revitalization in research into assessment of second language pronunciation, with two edited volumes published within two years, Isaacs and Trofimovich (2016) and Kang and Ginther (2018), the book reviewed here. Assessment in Second Language Pronunciation takes pronunciation as a crucial aspect of oral production and delves into important constructs like accentedness, intelligibility and comprehensibility and the assessment of these constructs and sub-constructs in international communication and the related validity issues. The volume also discusses application of speech technology in pronunciation assessment, making it a highly-welcomed addition to the literature.
