Conference Theme:

Language Assessment: Innovation and Integrity

As new technologies, methodologies, and research reshape the ways language
can be assessed, it is critical to maintain high standards of fairness,
ethics, and validity. This year’s theme explores how innovations are
impacting language assessment and how the field is maintaining its focus on
upholding rigorous quality standards.

We invite proposals from colleagues in academia, education, government, and
for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. ECOLT encourages students,
teachers, researchers, and test developers to submit proposals for papers
and posters on projects related to language testing and assessment.
