The School of Education at Virginia International University will be hosting the Conference on Language, Learning, and Culture (CLLC) on April 9-11, 2015,with the goal of sharing best practices and emerging trends in assessment.

The 2015 theme, Next-Generation Assessment, intends to reframe assessment in terms of its ability to meet the needs and achieve the goals of all stakeholders: empowering students with awareness of their strengths and areas for development; giving educators additional diagnostic information and tools to adapt their instruction; and providing administrators, testing organizations, policy makers, and community members with rigorous data on outcomes that can be used to improve educational programs. The goal is to begin a solutions-oriented dialogue on the next generation of innovations in assessment by acknowledging the interplay among a variety of factors related to language, learning, and culture.

Proposals for workshops, practice-oriented sessions, colloquia/panel discussions, posters, and paper presentations are invited in the following areas, as well as others related to the conference theme:

•    Innovations in Assessment
•    Ethics, Accountability, and Education Policy
•    Effective Assessment Design, Implementation and Use
