JALT’s Testing & Evaluation SIG was established in 1996 with these goals:

• To publish and distribute a regular newsletter with articles related to foreign language testing and evaluation.
• To provide a venue for participants to exchange information about research and discuss testing-related concerns.
• To organize local, regional, as well as national events under the auspices of JALT.
• To ensure regular ties with the affiliates of other professional organizations such as TESOL, JLTA and ILTA which have common interests and goals.
• To host a range of activities at the annual JALT conferences.
• To establish a comprehensive testing & evaluation database that will serve as a resource for research as well as practical classroom use.
