What's New?                                                                                         
     
 
July 2010: Language Testing Update. This month the home page of the Language Testing Resources website is getting it's long awaited upgrade. For those of you who were regular viewers of the news, this is no longer embedded within an i-frame. This was a rather primitive solution. You will now find the news firmly on this page, complete with a subscription service so that you won't miss the news again.
Also in this update there is a new issue of Language Testing Bytes, featuring Xioaming Xi on the topic of automated scoring. This is also available from the website of the journal Language Testing, or you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes by searching for the SAGE podcast. Dr Xi also agreed for a video version to be added to this website.

You will also see that the free subscription services have now been expanded to include news, articles, jobs in testing and assessment, and podcasts. As long as you're using a browser that can recognize webslices you can take out a subscription, and you'll get an alert whenever there is new content on that page. See below for more information.

Humour
Testing and assessment is serious because it can affect the lives of test takers, institutions, and society. But like all human and social activities, there is a humorous side as well. So after all the heavy stuff in the rest of this website, you may enjoy looking at testing in a rather different way, in the humour page, where you'll find regularly updated video, audio, cartoons and other fun stuff related to testing and assessment.
