Dear Linguist,

There has been a lot of controversy about the CEF alignment of high-stakes 
tests 
such as TOEFL.

Do you have an opinion on the matter?  Do you know of any good 
presentations or 
publications that address the issue? I have found this presentation by J. de 
Jong:

http://www.ealta.eu.org/conference/2009/docs/friday/John_deJong.pdf

Do you know of any independent research on the mapping of TOEFL to CEF?

Thank you very much indeed!

Regards,

Maarten Hulselmans
