 LTRC/ALTAANZ online celebratory evenT 2020

to mark the 30th anniversary of the LTRC and the
10th anniversary of ALTAANZ


​19-20 November 2020
​
​The year 2020 marks two important milestones: the Language Testing Research Centre’s 30th anniversary and ALTAANZ 10th anniversary. ALTAANZ was founded in Melbourne in 2010, when the local language testing community came together to celebrate LTRC’s 20th anniversary. Over the past 10 years, ALTAANZ and the LTRC have developed a close relationship. To mark both anniversaries, the ALTAANZ conference was going to return to Melbourne in November 2020. Unfortunately, due to the current Covid-19 situation and the uncertain projections for 2021, the ALTAANZ face-to-face conference has been postponed until 2022. To celebrate both anniversaries, the LTRC together with the ALTAANZ Executive Committee have now decided to host an online celebratory event on 19-20 November 2020.

About the event

The event will take the form of a small and relatively informal online conference, which we hope will provide colleagues with an opportunity to present their work in this time when many conferences have been cancelled and/or postponed. We will try our best to accommodate presenters who are based in time zones other than AEDT.

The event will incorporate the ALTAANZ AGM (Thursday 19 November, 12.00 pm AEDT), and, to celebrate the 30 year’s history of the LTRC, a colloquium will be held (Thursday 19 November, 3.30 p.m. AEDT). The theme of the colloquium will be "Mapping tensions between language testing, policies and practices". Former LTRC directors and associates Tim McNamara,
​Cathie Elder and Joe Lo Bianco will join the colloquium.

Registrations for the event have now closed.
