- Authors
Gallagher, Chris W.
- Abstract
The article discusses a report released by The Office for Students (OfS) regarding the assessment of technical proficiency in writing (TPWE) in higher education providers. The author analyzes the report and its policy contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding transnational policy regimes in writing studies. The article also highlights the need to study and critique policies that impact educators and students, particularly those who are marginalized. The document analyzes power relations within the context of the OfS and its interactions with providers, students, employers, taxpayers, and faculty. The text discusses the positioning of the OfS and its policies in relation to standards, accountability, and the use of Standard English in higher education. It also discusses the influence of neoliberalism and the transnational diffusion of standards and accountability policies. The text explores different policy regimes that shape transnational education, language, and writing policies, and emphasizes the importance of understanding these regimes and their implications. Finally, the text provides a list of references and citations from various sources related to language policy, education, and assessment in higher education.
