Since 2009, Dr. Kling has been active on the development and implementation of TOEPAS, the Test of Oral English Proficiency for Academic Staff. She draws on the TOEPAS in relation to her research and professional development training for NNS lecturers. She has published several articles and chapters on EMI and language assessment and is the co-author of English Medium Instruction in Multilingual and Mutlicultural Universities (Henriksen, Holmen and Kling, 2018) and co-editor of Integrating Content and Language in Multilingual Higher Education (Dimova & Kling, forthcoming).
