Testing and Evaluation

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

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