Preparing, calibrating, and providing quality assurance for effective and efficient raters is critical to the operation of these tests (Hughes, 2003). To address this challenge, testing organizations have employed different approaches to automated scoring using artificial intelligence (AI). Claims about automated scoring of such large-scale writing tests suggest that they are as or more reliable than human raters. However, there is limited research on the implementation of automated scoring for tests of writing in languages other than English. This paper describes research on the development and evaluation of an automated scoring system for a large-scale Spanish language writing test for middle and high school students. The model, consistent with the philosophy behind the test development and scoring system, focuses primarily on the features examinees can do and produce rather than a subtractive model that places more focus on examinees' mistakes. The system was trained on completed operational responses and with ratings from certified human raters. Natural Language Processing techniques were used to identify specific linguistic features. Results show equal or better agreement between machine–human scores than between two human raters.","PeriodicalId":47560,"journal":{"name":"Foreign Language Annals","volume":"59 1","pages":"63-81"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many teaching models, including virtual exchange (VE), equate culture with nation-states and promote target-language-only policies, which can reinforce stereotypes and limit culture exploration for beginners. The study investigates the transformative learning (TL) impact of a critical VE that connected learners from two novice Mandarin courses in the United States with individuals from diverse Chinese communities. Participants engaged in hometown conversations using full linguistic repertoires and a multimodal map. Data from 16 participants—including surveys, journals, meetings, digital stories, and interviews with 5 focal participants—were analyzed. Findings revealed key TL outcome of critical assessment of assumptions. Multimodal conversation analysis of meeting episodes showed that learners strategically drew on a wide range of linguistic and multimodal resources for meaning negotiation, interaction management, and co-construction of local culture knowledge. Translanguaging served as both a scaffold and a decolonizing act, fostering equitable transcultural learning. A pedagogical model is proposed, highlighting multiperspective dialogues, guided reflections, and translanguaging.","PeriodicalId":47560,"journal":{"name":"Foreign Language Annals","volume":"59 1","pages":"141-165"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this return was to relearn to teach and to better understand current challenges in language education, student engagement, and inclusive instruction. Using an autoethnographic approach, I examined how the experience reshaped my instructional practices, my perspectives on pedagogical content knowledge, and my language teacher educator identity. The findings highlight tensions of translating theoretical and research-based approaches to classroom realities, challenges in maintaining a teacher educator identity in a P-12 context, and the importance of student voice in shaping pedagogy. By examining the contradictions between language teacher identity and language teacher educator identity, this autoethnography contributes to the discourse on language teacher preparation and reflective practice. The conclusion underscores the benefits of returning to a P-12 context for teacher educators and postsecondary language instructors, with implications for professional development and for language teacher education.","PeriodicalId":47560,"journal":{"name":"Foreign Language Annals","volume":"59 1","pages":"103-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/flan.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
