PRACTICAL INFORMATION
University of Innsbruck
The University of Innsbruck is happy to welcome you to the 45th Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC 2024).
In 2019, the University of Innsbruck celebrated its 350th anniversary. 350 years of the University of Innsbruck mean 350 years of exciting research and teaching, 350 years of clever minds that show visions, formulate ideas and advance developments, and thus 350 years of interaction with society. The University of Innsbruck sees its anniversary as a milestone on its way into the future. Setting new impulses, living openness, expanding the exchange with the environment, i.e. shaping the future together - these are the goals of the anniversary and beyond.
We would like to actively live this spirit of openness with you during our conference, shaping the future together.
Department of Subject-Specific Education (University of Innsbruck)
Our Organizing Committee is located at the Department of Subject-Specific Education, which is one of the three departments within the Faculty of Teacher Education. The Department of Subject-Specific Education was founded in 2012 and unites the subject-specific education of future teachers. It is divided into five sections:
- Science, Geography, Computer Science and Mathematics Education;
- Language Education including English, French, Italian, Russian and Spanish;
- German Language and Literature Education;
- History, Social Studies and Civic Education;
- Education and Communication for Sustainable Development.
All of them are characterised by a research- and theory-based approach to teaching which emphasises the importance of providing a scientifically and empirically substantiated education for specialised teachers at upper and lower secondary level. Moreover, numerous national and international project groups conduct research and generate results that are particularly important for the future-oriented field of Science Education. The findings thereof form the scientific foundation of tasks created for the partially-centralised, standardised school-leaving exam in all foreign languages in Austria. The department thus has the most comprehensive cooperation of subject-specific education at Austrian universities so far.
