Many testing guides focus purely on abstract statistical theories. In contrast, Arthur Hughes bridges the gap between theoretical linguistics and classroom reality. His work is designed specifically for classroom teachers, syllabus designers, and school administrators who need practical tools to measure student progress accurately.
Arthur Hughes (1939–2016) was a leading authority in the field of language testing. He taught applied linguistics at the University of Reading for twenty-five years, where he set up and directed the Testing and Evaluation Unit. On leave from Reading, he directed English language testing projects at Bosphorus University in Istanbul (1982-4) and the Ministry of Secondary Education in Morocco (1992-3). He was also the joint founder-editor of the prestigious international journal Language Testing and published widely, carrying out consultancies in the United Kingdom and several countries overseas. Although he is now retired, he continues to write and act as a consultant. The book remains a bestseller in the field.
