Fide… lity. Effects of Swiss migration policy requirements on language tests

Résumé

In many European countries, language teaching and learning for migrants are increasingly thought of according to political and economic injunctions and specific ideologies concerning immigration. Thus, when states legally determine language levels needed to access residence and establishment, they also design certification tests according to political, economic, and ideological means. This is the case in Switzerland, where language certifications recognized by the administration for official procedures must follow linguistic and pedagogical concepts determined by the Federal Office for Migration. At the crossroads of critical sociolinguistics and language didactics, we investigate here a digital language test in perspective with the Swiss language policy on immigration and the now dominant recommendations of the Council of Europe. We underline how these factors influence implementing the declared ideology underlying this test and the innovative didactic perspectives that technology and pedagogical perspectives adopted would allow outside such a framework. We conclude on the potential effects of this type of test on the training provided by language institutes when the latter first prove to be faithful to migration policy.
