The IELTS Research Committee, comprising representatives of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge Assessment English, is pleased to announce the awarding of the 2019 Caroline Clapham IELTS Masters Award to Dylan Burton, who completed his degree at Lancaster University.

The award, which carries a prize of £1000 and sponsored attendance at the annual Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC), aims to encourage young researchers to pursue careers in language testing. Counted among former winners are professors and lecturers, researchers in examination bodies and other organisations, and a director of a teacher training institute.
