UK Association for Language Testing and Assessment (UKALTA)

Description

Welcome to the website of the UK Association for Language Testing and Assessment (UKALTA).

UKALTA is a professional organisation that aims to provide a forum for the exchange of information and research on language testing and assessment in the UK. Founded as a professional association and learned society in 2016, UKALTA grew out of the Language Testing Forum, an annual gathering of UK-based language testing and assessment specialists which has met since 1980.

UKALTA is the face and heart of language testing in the UK:

• supporting the language testing and assessment research and practitioner community in the UK and to mentor new and emerging researchers and professionals in the field;
• facilitating greater awareness of professional issues in language assessment and to improve (language) assessment literacy for both specialist and non-specialist audiences;
• providing a highly visible source of professional expertise to which educational and corporate bodies, government and the media can look for input related to improving language assessment in the UK.
