studies in Language Assessment

Studies in Language Assessment (SiLA) is the international peer-reviewed research journal of ALTAANZ. It previously appeared under the title Papers in Language Testing and Assessment (PLTA). The journal is an online, open-access publication that welcomes contributions from both new and experienced researchers in the form of full research articles, research reports and discussion papers, on topics in the field of language assessment. It also publishes commissioned book and test reviews. Currently, there are at least one regular issue and one theme-based special issue each year. SiLA is included in the Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).  
 
SiLA is available online here on the ALTAANZ website and also at the Language Testing Research Centre at the University of Melbourne.
 
Prior to 2012, SiLA was published by the Language Testing Research Centre at the University of Melbourne under the name, Melbourne Papers in Language Testing. For the full catalogue of back issues of Melbourne Papers in Language Testing is available: MPLT Back Issues (1992-2010).
