Meeting Description:

Since the birth of testing and evaluation as a scientific discipline in the
1950s, the prevailing trends in the teaching of language and culture have
always been reflected in the forms that language assessment has taken. 
Discrete-point testing (Lado, 1961) was inspired by the structuralist 
approach to linguistics and behaviorism  in psychology and cognitive sciences.
 Then, communicative language  testing  (Morrow, 1979 ) put forward the
textual unity of  written and oral texts, as well as the ability to con vey an
understandable message beyond its  formal acceptability and the assessment of
reception and productive skills . In the last few decades, the scientific
community has focused on new important key concepts, such as situational and
interactional authenticity in task - based testing, learning oriented
assessment,  evaluation for diagnostic purposes, just to mention a few (Hamp -
Lyons, 2016).  Today,  candidates are increasingly presenting plurilingual
language profiles, are or will resort to  international mobility , and are
more and more competent in  the area of information and  communication
technology (ICT), regardless of the formative and evaluative context of 
education (schools, universities, certification centers, language centers,
languages for  specialists in other disciplines centers, etc.). At the same
time, the dissemination of tests and certifications, which often have a strong
impact on the lives of candidates and even institutions, has led to a greater
awareness of the need to design valid, reliable, and fair language
assessments.

Three axes: 

1- Validity applied to language assessment: Theoretical reflections and/or
feedback on experience.
2- Evaluation of intercomprehensive and plurilingual approaches.
3-Evaluation and language interaction.
