| Principles of Good PracticeALTE's Principles of Good Practice (2020) is the third edition of a document that was first put together in 1994. The document is intended as a coherent set of guidelines that all ALTE members and affiliates subscribe to when creating and running language tests. It sets out ethical considerations and the concept of usefulness in examinations and examination qualities, placing these as principles that are worked out in ALTE's Quality Management System. The ALTE Principles of Good Practice is also available in Basque. |
| "Manual for Language Test Development and Examining"The Manual for Language Test Development and Examining (2011) was produced by ALTE on behalf of the Language Policy Unit of the Council of Europe. This manual is for use with the CEFR and it is available in Basque, Dutch, French and German. |
| Riktlinjer för konstruktion av LSP provThe "Guidelines for the Development of Language for Specific Purposes Tests" (2018) was produced by ALTE as a supplement to the 2011 Manual for Language Test Development and Examining. The production of the Guidelines was co-ordinated by the LSP ("Langauage for Specific Purposes") SIG. The Guidelines are now illustrated with the development process of an examination for specific academic purposes (LSAP) in this document: Illustration for the Guidelines on Language for Specific Purposes Tests . The material has the purpose of showing the way in which the steps in the Guidelines were followed in the development and administration of this examination, with direct comments related to this process, the problems encountered and the possible solutions which were suggested. |

| Multilingual Glossary of Language Testing TermsALTE's multilingual glossary (1998) has a particularly significant role to play in encouraging the development of language testing in less widely taught languages by establishing terms which may be new alongside their well-known equivalents in the commonly used languages. The glossary contains entries in 10 languages: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. This volume will be of use to many working in the context of European languages who are involved in testing and assessment. |
"Code of Practice"ALTE:s "Code of Practice" (1994) tillhandahåller användbara riktlinjer inom språktestning. Den finns på en mängd språk.
