In April 2020, ALTE launched its revised Principles of Good Practice. The document is freely available to download from the ALTE Resources webpage: www.alte.org/Materials. This 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. The panel on The Use and Impact of the ALTE Principles of Good Practice is organised to offer insights into ways in which the guidelines contribute to the improvement of quality and enhancement of professionalism in member organisations/institutions. Representatives of ALTE member organisations as well as partner associations contribute to the panel by offering brief critical reflections and comments on the ALTE Principles of Good Practice 2020.
