Meeting Description:

Language Testing Forum 2014
Conference theme: Language Testing: Engaging multi-disciplinary perspectives
Date: Friday 21 November – Sunday 23 November, 2014
Venue: University of Southampton, UK, SO17 1BF

Language testing and processes of language test validation and evaluation draw on theoretical perspectives from fields such as Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. The approach informs test design and format, and test data analysis. This conference is an opportunity for language testers and language educators to engage with new developments in these fields, and other multi-disciplinary perspectives which can help us meet emerging and future challenges.

Call for Papers:

We invite submissions to contribute to the conference theme in the form of paper or poster. The deadline for abstract submission is 15 August. Notifications will be sent to delegates in the first week of September.

We particularly would like to invite young researchers and PhD students to present their work-in-progress projects on a poster. There will be five free registration fellowships available to graduate students. A statement of interest (max 200 words) should be included with the application. 

We are currently in the process of adding online submission information to the conference website (http://www.southampton.ac.uk/ml/news/events/2014/11/21_language_testing_forum.page? ). 

Please watch the space for updates. Any queries, please email LTF2014 at soton.ac.uk 
We look forward to welcoming you to Southampton in November!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
