The integration of these two conferences provides an opportunity for examining a range of innovations in language assessments—many of which rely on computer technology—in the process of test conceptualization, development, delivery, scoring, and analysis. Abstracts for papers and posters developing the theme of innovation broadly construed are invited for the conference, but we are particularly interested in papers with implications for innovation in language assessment through computer technology.
