Shiken is seeking submissions for future publications. Shiken - The JALT TEVAL SIG journal is published twice a year in June and December. Submissions received 3 months prior to publication date will be considered, although earlier submission is encouraged to allow time for review and revision. Shiken aims to publish articles concerning language assessment issues relevant to classroom practitioners and language program administrators.
We would like to remind all our members that TEVAL holds regular informal meetings on ZOOM. These are a chance for members to get to know each other more and to share experiences, news, and ideas related to testing and assessment. Details of each meeting and a link are sent to our members by email. Please keep an eye out for any messages received from us concerning the details of the meeting link. We look forward to welcoming you! If you haven't received a link and would like to attend, please send us an email to: teval@jalt.org.
