New Directions 2025: a global online event

We're thrilled to announce that New Directions 2025 will mark an exciting new chapter: the first global edition of the conference, taking place in November 2025 (dates to be confirmed).

Since 2013, New Directions has brought together language assessment experts, educators and policy makers in various regional settings. In 2025, we're expanding our reach and inviting participants from around the world to join us virtually for a truly global conversation.

This landmark online event will connect educational communities across the world to explore the evolving landscape of language testing, and the challenges and opportunies created in a digital age.

Whether you're a long-time attendee or new to the New Directions community, we look forward to sharing ideas, research and insights with you on this new global stage.
