The International Language Assessment Conference in Egypt (ILACE)

September 5 –6, 2025, AUC Tahrir Square. 

The AUC's School of Continuing Education is pleased to announce the Eleventh International Language Assessment Conference in Egypt (ILACE 2025), which will take place September 5 – 6, 2025. This year’s conference theme is "Assessment in Language Education: Research and Practice".

Each year, ILACE welcomes hundreds of teachers, assessment specialists, education reformers, and assessment researchers from across the Middle East, North Africa, and the world. Participants engage in scholarly discussions on language assessment, addressing hot topics such as technology in assessment, high-stakes exams, test design, and inclusive assessments, which are gaining increasing interest.

ILACE aims to provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and scholarly discussion and debate within the field of language assessment. It also promotes active involvement and participation by facilitating the exchange of ideas, expertise, and perspectives from Egypt, the region, and worldwide. The conference focuses on how key principles and theories in language can enhance teaching for assessment preparation.

We invite you to join us for the eleventh edition of ILACE and share your expertise or research findings at this year’s conference!
