Abstrakt
A certificate proving the holder’s proficiency in a foreign language for specific
purposes (LSP) should guarantee that the person submitting such a document
is able to perform specific professional tasks using the particular foreign
language. Therefore, an examination measuring such competencies
should meet certain requirements and have certain characteristics. What
are the differences between testing languages for general and for specific
purposes? Are these differences visible in existing certificate examinations?
Do the language certificates issued on the basis of LSP examinations give
employers a guarantee that the employee can handle professional tasks
which demand the use of the foreign language in question? In an attempt
to answer these queries, the article will outline the theoretical
principles behind testing languages for specific purposes and try to
compare the theory and practice through an analysis of several LSP exams
available on the market. Reflecting on the observations, it will also
try to determine why the reality is often so distant from the theoretical
foundations.
