Language Assessment Literacy Enhancement: Any Room for Technology-Enhanced Language Learning?
English Language Teachers were asked to voice their opinion and preferences as to the format, content matter as well as types of tasks and activities they would find most favourable in the training materials/course on the ELT and Assessment and their levels confidence regarding their competencies on the use of ICT for educational purposes. The findings reveal that the suggested formats and methods were very well received by the participant teachers. Regarding the level of confidence of their competencies in using ICT in their classrooms they were diverse, but the average was mediocre. The findings also indicate small differences on the levels of this particular aspect on the basis of previous participation of the teachers in an online training course and strong correlations among the different competencies. These findings create the extra requirement to incorporate in the design of the blended training environment elements that will help the teachers feel more confident in that aspect, and especially empower those that have not participated in such a training course. The findings can be relevant and informative for the higher education authorities and teacher training institutions responsible for designing professional training schemes for ELT pre-and in-service teachers.
