Abstract:

This book focuses on the development of the process of teaching and assessing
foreign language competence for study purposes in a pluricultural and
plurilingual context. It addresses not only the individual who is learning the
language for academic purposes (LAP), but also other stakeholders, like
teachers, schools and universities, and external boards, such as examination
boards for language testing.

The book highlights an ongoing research project at the University of Parma,
Italy, aimed at developing teaching programs and evaluative tools for language
for academic purposes. Starting from a reflection upon the nature of language
for study purposes stemming from the tradition of English for Academic
Purposes, it describes the model of an LAP test implemented in Italian
secondary schools and universities, and shows the findings concerning the
performance in the test of both students whose mother tongue is Indo-European
and those who speak non-Indo-European languages.
