This book investigates the development of language assessment literacy (LAL) among university English instructors in the Chinese context. It examines their localised LAL needs in the natural teaching contexts and also documents LAL developmental trajectories by tracking how instructors acquire, enhance, and sustain LAL through engagement in assessment practices. Furthermore, the book explores the construction of instructors' assessment identities alongside their LAL development. Finally, the study analyses how contextual, experiential, and personal factors influence instructors’ LAL development, probes challenges and opportunities they may encounter, and explores how they mobilise these dynamics to enhance their LAL  and construct their assessment identities.The findings offer practical insights for university English instructors, university/department administrators, assessment trainers/training providers. These insights serve as guidance for enhancing instructors' LAL, thereby improving assessment quality within Chinese universities.
