This volume gathers contributions in the closely linked fields of English language assessment
and language education. The contributors from China and Hong Kong represent a mixture of
established and new scholars. Areas covered in the language education section range across
major developments in the redefining of Hong Kong's secondary and tertiary curricula as well
as the huge field of China's vocational education curriculum. Regarding assessment the
contributions reflect major changes in the marking of examinations in Hong Kong whereby all
examinations from 2012 onwards are marked onscreen to quality control issues in the
administration of China's College English Test which is taken by over 10 million candidates
every year.
