It has long been noted that high-stakes language exams exert a powerful influence on teaching
and learning  a phenomenon known as the washback effect (Alderson and Wall  1993). However  due
to the complex nature of the phenomenon  little research has been conducted in the field so
far. This book  which is based on empirical research into the washback effect of First
Certificate in English (FCE  Cambridge ESOL)  discusses and elaborates on the complexity of the
phenomenon and accounts for the intervening factors that mediate the process of test washback.
The book concludes with the presentation of a model that demonstrates how the mechanism of
washback operates and with recommendations to a variety of stakeholders for achieving
beneficial washback.
