Meeting Description:

The Midwest Association of Language Testers (MwALT) is a strong community of
graduate students and professionals that supports work in foreign and second
language assessment.


Call for Papers:

This year's conference theme is ''Building Pathways Between Language and
Assessment.'' We hope that this coming conference will provide a platform for
us to think about the term ''language assessment'' and how language and
assessment are connected. While we have seen advancements in the way we
assess, it is nevertheless of paramount importance to think about the
roots--what we are testing. We hope that this conference provides an
opportunity for language testers to address the questions of what, why, how we
are testing, and weave the answers together in a holistic manner whereby
answers to one question inform answers to other questions. At MwALT 2019, we
hope to revisit language in language assessment and strengthen the ties
between second language acquisition and how to better assess it. We welcome
your proposals on this theme, but we would of course welcome proposals on any
topic related to language testing.

Submission Deadline: 
In order to be considered, abstracts for papers or posters must be received by
Monday, May 20, 2019. Notification decisions will be sent in late June, 2019. 

Guidelines for Submitting Abstracts: 
All submissions must be submitted electronically via the following link as an
MS Word or PDF file: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/mwalt2019
