Fostering Teachers' Language Assessment Literacy: Theory & Practice
About this book
A major discussion in the field of language testing is language assessment literacy (LAL): The knowledge, skills, and principles that stakeholders need to understand and act in language testing and assessment. Language teachers are central stakeholders in LAL, because of their constant need to address assessment-related activities. However, research has indicated that teachers are underprepared in LAL, so a recent call in the literature involves addressing this dimension of their teaching personas. Fostering Teachers' Language Assessment Literacy: Theory & Practice is a methodological handbook for teacher educators to design, implement, and evaluate LAL courses for teachers. Among others, the book has these features:
• A comprehensive definition of teachers' LAL.
• A curriculum development framework covering stages such as course planning, materials development, and instructional sequences.
• Numerous practical ideas to teach LAL to language teachers.
• Reflection and action points throughout each chapter in the book.
• Examples of materials for researching and teaching LAL, e.g., interview protocols and module samples.
• End-of-chapter exercises to further activate discussion and action around teachers' LAL.
In all the book chapters, the author intends to make LAL understandable for readers, exploring it as both a theoretical framework and an action-oriented pedagogy within applied linguistics.
