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

ALTE BI-ANNUAL CONFERENCE DAY MATERIALS

L'ALTE organizza meeting e convegni biennali, durante i quali una giornata viene dedicata ad un tema specifico inerente la valutazione linguistica ed è aperta al pubblico. Dal 2018 in poi, renderemo pubbliche la bibliografia di un convegno e le slide di presentazione delle relazioni plenarie e dei workshop, laddove possibile.
