The Language Testing Forum (LTF) is the UK Association for Language Testing and Assessment’s (UKALTA’s) annual conference. This year’s conference will shine a spotlight on the growing recognition of the importance of understanding multilingual contexts. The main theme of the conference is multilingualism and the impact on language assessment theory, practice and policy.

We will have the following sub-themes:

• UK languages and language diversity in the context of the UK
• Translanguaging and the implications for assessment
• Language assessment for entry to work and education in a multilingual world
• The languages of schooling and the role of language in the assessment of content subjects
• Assessment in English Medium Education / Instruction contexts
• The design and validation of multilingual assessments
• The intersection between language assessment, language policy, and multilingualism

A full programme will follow shortly.
