Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) - ALTE Bi-annual Conference Material

ALTE organise des réunions et des conférences semestrielles, lors desquelles une journée de conférence est consacrée à un thème particulier du domaine de l'évaluation linguistique, et ouverte au public. Depuis 2018, nous publions une bibliographie des conférences, ainsi que les présentations sous forme de diapositives des interventions en plénière et en ateliers, dans la mesure du possible.

The presentations contain materials sent to us by third parties, to which the copyright belong. Authorisation to reproduce such material should be obtained from the copyright holders concerned.
