Assessment is a prevalent and multifaceted aspect of contemporary higher education. This collection offers an insightful overview of language and (inter-)cultural assessment practices in European institutions and beyond, including Australia, China, and Japan. It explores key questions such as the types of assessment being implemented, their purposes, and the perceptions of teaching staff and learners regarding the evaluation of language and (inter-)cultural competences in higher education. The chapters were initially presented at the bilingual conference, Assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in Higher Education, held at Turku University in Finland in 2007. The volume features a diverse range of articles that review assessment practices in language education across various educational systems. The authors delve into the nature of assessments conducted in higher education, their intended goals, and the representations held by educators and students about assessing language and intercultural skills. This comprehensive examination sheds light on the complexities and implications of assessment in the context of global higher education.
