CARLA, the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition ( www.carla.umn.edu), announces the establishment of a new email list, FL-ASSESSMENTS.

FL-ASSESSMENTS is jointly sponsored by CARLA, CASLS (Center for Applied Second Language Studies-University of Oregon, http://casls.uoregon.edu), and CAL (Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC, http://www.cal.org ). The list is co-managed by Louis Janus <lctl@umn.edu> and Ursula Lentz <lentz003@umn.edu>, both at CARLA.

The purposes of this list are:
1) to provide a forum for practitioners to discuss current issues in developing assessments
2) to share information and resources among professionals in the field
3) to encourage collaboration in the area of language assessments.

You can subscribe by sending an email to: LISTSERV@LISTS.UMN.EDU With the message:
SUBSCRIBE FL-ASSESSMENTS <your names>
-- -- removing the brackets and typing in your first and last names.

If you have trouble subscribing, please email Louis Janus <LCTL@umn.edu>

Subscriptions to this list are open to everyone who has an interest in foreign language assessments. Feel free to announce this list to colleagues. The list will be unmoderated. We invite discussions on assessments of all languages and levels, including K-12 and post secondary settings.
