Abstract

Despite the substantial growth of research on language assessment literacy (LAL), the emotional side of LAL has been under-researched. In response to this gap of knowledge, the present study explored Iranian English language teachers’ LAL through the lens of emotional critical incidents (CIs). Drawing on an ecological lens as embedded in a case-study design, data were collected from narrative frames, classroom observations and post-class discussions, and semi-structured interviews. Data analyses revealed three personal, institutional, and sociocultural ecologies that shaped the teachers’ LAL-related emotional CIs and the associated sense-making, practice, and perceptions about assessment. In particular, we found that the emotional side of LAL is defined by agency, emotion labor, the need for voice, and broader discourses of assessment in Iran. Based on the findings, we provide implications for running professional development courses that build on teachers’ LAL and account for emotions as a key component of such courses.

语文教师评鉴素养的生态:来自情感批判事件的洞察
尽管对语言评估素养(LAL)的研究有了长足的发展,但对LAL的情感方面的研究却很少。针对这一知识差距,本研究通过情绪批评事件(CI)的视角探讨了伊朗英语教师的LAL。利用案例研究设计中嵌入的生态视角,从叙事框架、课堂观察和课后讨论以及半结构化访谈中收集数据。数据分析揭示了三种个人、制度和社会文化生态,它们塑造了教师与LAL相关的情感CI以及相关的感知、实践和对评估的看法。特别是,我们发现,在伊朗,LAL的情感方面是由代理、情感劳动、对声音的需求和更广泛的评估话语来定义的。基于这些发现,我们为开设以教师LAL为基础的专业发展课程提供了启示,并将情感作为此类课程的关键组成部分。
