We warmly invite you to come to New Zealand to participate in the Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC), which will be held in Auckland from 2 to 6 July 2018.

From a small meeting of language testers in a hotel room in Boston in 1979, LTRC has grown to be the major international conference for research on language testing and assessment and has been held in diverse locations around the world. This is just the second time the conference has been in the Southern Hemisphere and so we welcome both people from our Asia-Pacific region and those from further afield for whom this may represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit our wonderful little country. Auckland is the country’s largest “superdiverse” city, with a wealth of languages, cultures and natural beauty.
