Submission instructions:
MwALT 2025 accepts papers and posters.
(1) Paper
Papers should present theoretical or empirical research. They are 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for questions. Proposals for empirical studies should provide background and reasons for the research, descriptions of methodology, findings, and implications. Proposals for conceptual papers should introduce the problem addressed in the paper, provide the theoretical orientation or new approach, and indicate the logic of the argument the paper will present.
(2) Posters.
Posters on theoretical issues, completed research, or innovative practices related to language testing and assessment. Posters may include work-in-progress research. Poster presenters will host their posters and discuss their research with conference participants.
All proposals will receive a double-blind review by at least two reviewers. Criteria will include the proposal’s clarity, adequacy of the methods for data collection and analysis (if appropriate), the extent to which the abstract meets the criteria for the given submission category, and the overall significance of the work for language assessment. Preference will be given to abstracts that address the conference theme, although all language assessment topics are admissible.
Submissions open: May 1, 2025 - June 30, 2025
