The idea of producing a multilingual glossary of assessment and language testing terms has grown out of the needs experienced by members of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE). It is anticipated that this glossary will be of use, not only to members of ALTE, but to many others working in the context of European languages who are involved in language testing and assessment.  The glossary contains entries in ten languages:  Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
