全国語学教育学会 試験と評価研究部会
The Japan Association for Language Teaching Testing & Evaluation Special Interest Group
JALT's Testing & Evaluation SIG was established in 1996 with these goals:
- To publish and distribute a regular newsletter with articles related to foreign language testing and evaluation.
- To provide a venue for participants to exchange information about research and discuss testing-related concerns.
- To organize local, regional, as well as national events under the auspices of JALT.
- To ensure regular ties with the affiliates of other professional organizations such as TESOL, JLTA and ILTA which have common interests and goals.
- To host a range of activities at the annual JALT conferences.
- To establish a comprehensive testing & evaluation database that will serve as a resource for research as well as practical classroom use.
More information about JALT, our parent organization, can be found on jalt.org.
