ciudadanía, exámenes asistidos por ordenador, exámenes de lenguas, tecnologíaResumen
Las pruebas de ciudadanía y naturalización existen desde hace más de un siglo. Conocer su justificación y su importancia internacional implica su propia revisión. Este artículo comienza por definir sus principales características, centrándose en sus dos componentes principales: lengua y cultura. La diferencia en los niveles de competencia en el Marco de Referencia Común Europeo es especialmente relevante. Inmediatamente después, miramos los diferentes exámenes en diferentes países. Una parte importante del trabajo está dirigida al uso de la tecnología en la evaluación y preparación de exámenes enfatizando sus beneficios y dificultades. Adicionalmente, el trabajo también destaca la oportunidad en este momento para su implementación en la red a pesar de los problemas académicos y sociales actuales.
