Monographic Part. The Notion of Resistance in an Interdisciplinary Perspective – Between Emancipation and Stagnation (Edited by Ewa Bielska): Paradoxes of English Language Competence Tests in East Asian Countries

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at revisiting chosen paradoxes encountered in the process of evaluation, particularly the evaluation of English language acquisition level among the learners from Far East countries. What is characteristic of those countries is, on the one hand, a strong orientation towards student testing, and on the other hand, the linguistic remoteness of their official and native tongues from English, which in turn intertwines the language competence testing into various, often unexpected, cultural contexts. Therefore, East Asian countries constitute a very attractive research subject, especially as a part of discussion concerning cultural imperialism.
