Details
ILACE each year welcomes hundreds of teachers, assessment specialists, education reformers, and researchers from across the Middle East, North Africa, and globally to engage in scholarly discussion around language assessment. Hot issues such as using technology in assessment, high-stakes exams, test designs and inclusive assessments are gaining more and more interest every day.
ILACE seeks to provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and scholarly discussion and debate within the area of language assessment. It also aims to promote active involvement and participation by offering opportunities for the exchange of ideas, expertise, and perspectives from Egypt, the region, and worldwide. The ILACE conference focuses on how key principles and theories in language can enhance our teachings for the preparation of assessments.
Please join us in celebrating ten years of ILACE by sharing your expertise and experience at this year’s conference!
