Lancaster alumni, students and staff specialising in language testing were well represented at the International Language Testing Association's LTRC conference in Innsbruck in July 2024. Colleagues Tineke Brunfaut, Luke Harding, Judit Kormos and John Pill very much enjoyed hearing where everyone's professional lives have taken them. The Department of Linguistics and English Language's leading role in the area of language testing goes back 45 years and Lancaster University is still one of very few institutions offering dedicated post-graduate programmes in this specialist subject field.
