English term or phrase: two government commissioned reports
CONTEXTO: During the 1980s, two government commissioned reports on English language teaching appeared.

Entiendo que 'government' estaría modificando a reports right? pero no logro hacer una traducción lógica para la frase entera. Muchísimas gracias por la ayuda.

Spanish translation:dos informes encargados por el gobierno
Explanation:
'reportes' es anglicismo, si bien bastante avanzado en su uso, todavía le queda sabor a extranjerismo; juzgo mejor 'informes'.
