This talk examines emerging trends in language testing research and practice, spanning construct expansion, methodological innovation, and the evolving landscape of test development and use. These developments present exciting opportunities to shape the field but also demand a broader perspective and greater interdisciplinary collaboration. I will discuss the implications of these trends for researchers and authors, offering practical guidance for designing sustainable research work and navigating the publishing landscape. Special attention will be given to maintaining academic rigor and addressing challenges posed by technological integration, providing a roadmap for impactful contributions in the increasingly dynamic field.
