<span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">This session will bring to fore (or highlight) the oft-neglected discord between equity and integrity in high-stakes standardized language tests. The equity issues surrounding these so-called standardized language tests
can potentially precipitate and predispose academic dishonesty. This presentation will discuss the ramifications of inherent inequities in high stakes language proficiency tests for academic integrity, and will call for a more critical consideration of commercialized
high stakes language tests. Redressing equity issues in language assessment can serve to promote academic integrity and reduce academic dishonesty. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
