I was quoted in this “Inside Higher Ed” article about lobbying to create a made-in-India English test.
As I said, “it won’t be easy.” And: “it will be very slow-going at first to convince more than a handful of schools to accept a new test. It will be even harder to get governments to accept a new test for immigration purposes.”
It isn’t quoted, but in conversation with the author of the piece, I noted that it will take years of research, development and relationship building.
But, hey… it isn’t just wishful thinking. Many new tests have successfully launched and attracted score users in the past five years.
