As the saying goes, there is always a first time. In the 2021 edition ofthe annual FAAPI Conference, two things were new. This 45th conferencewas held between September 17th and 19th, 2021, as the first online event ofthis kind since the creation of the Federation back in 1971. Moreover, for thefirst time, the Federation held the conference in collaboration with a partner:the Latin American Association for Language Testing and Assessment(LAALTA). A sign of the times: flexibility, innovation and a desire to renew themission of connecting and supporting English Language Teachingprofessionals in Argentina and beyond were the driving forces to meet newchallenges prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.This volume includes a selection of 11 papers presented at theconference that were recommended for publication in the double-blindreview procedure. The resulting selection was grouped into four categories:A Assessment of specific areas in different educational contextsB Perceptions and emotions about assessment practicesC Involving learners in assessmentD A retrospective view of assessment practices
