This collection showcases language assessment literacy, understood as the knowledge, skills, and principles necessary to engage in assessment activities, by problematizing different approaches to its development and offering insights for language teachers and other stakeholders.The volume builds on existing research in LAL, which has thus far focused on defining its scope and charting how stakeholder dependent its development can be, to provide readers with ideas to bridge the gap between LAL research and practice. The book is organized around three parts, each structured around practical applications, from designing materials to workshops and courses to the latest issues in LAL pedagogies, particularly around emergent technologies and their implications for teachers. Case studies from around the world are featured to show these dynamics at work across diverse educational and geographic contexts. In centering the discussion on pedagogical approaches, the collection seeks to advance debates and further research and equip teachers and policymakers with further resources to enhance LAL, both in their own classrooms and as an area of inquiry.This book will be of interest to scholars and stakeholders in language assessment and testing, language education, TESOL, and applied linguistics.

Local Language Testing: Design, Implementation, and Development describes the language testing practice that exists in the intermediate space between large-scale standardized testing and classroom assessment, an area that is rarely addressed in the language testing and assessment literature. Covering both theory and practice, the book focuses on the advantages of local tests, fosters and encourages their use, and provides suggested ideas for their development and maintenance. The authors include examples of operational tests with well-proven track records and discuss:the ability of local tests to represent local contexts and values, explicitly and purposefully embed test results within instructional practice, and provide data for program evaluation and researchlocal testing practices grounded in the theoretical principles of language testing, drawing from experiences with local testing and providing practical examples of local language tests, illustrating how they can be designed to effectively function within and across different institutional contextsexamples of how local language tests and assessments are developed for use within a specific context and how they serve a variety of purposes (e.g., entry-level proficiency testing, placement testing, international teaching assistant testing, writing assessment, and program evaluation)Aimed at language program directors, graduate students, and researchers involved in language program development and evaluation, this is a timely book in that it focuses on the advantages of local tests, fosters and encourages their use, and outlines their development and maintenance. It constitutes essential reading for language program directors, graduate students, and researchers involved in language program development and evaluation.
