چکیده
Research has highlighted the essential role of teachers in facilitating effective learning, yet there remains a critical need to enhance understanding of assessment literacy, particularly within the context of learning-oriented assessment. To address this gap, the researcher conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify relevant theoretical constructs related to teachers' assessment literacy. Following this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with EFL teachers to gather insights into their perceptions of key components, including designing learning tasks, involving students in assessment, and providing effective feedback. The qualitative data from the interviews were analyzed thematically, leading to the development of the Teachers' Assessment Literacy Questionnaire (TALQ), which was then subjected to rigorous reliability and validity testing. In a subsequent phase, the TALQ was administered to a larger sample of 230 EFL teachers, in addition to being piloted with a group of 30 teachers. The questionnaire yielded a strong Cronbach's alpha of 0.791, indicating good reliability. Factor analysis revealed three primary components of assessment literacy: Involving Students in Assessment, Designing Learning Tasks, and Effectiveness of Feedback. The findings indicate that while many teachers feel they possess adequate assessment literacy, there are no significant differences across various academic backgrounds. This underscores the need for targeted professional development to enhance assessment practices among Iranian EFL teachers. Ultimately, this study contributes valuable insights into the concept of assessment literacy, equipping teachers with the necessary tools to foster more effective learning environments.

چکیده
This study aimed to investigate the impact of mobile-assisted learning-oriented assessment (LOA) on the writing ability of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. A total of 60 intermediate Iranian EFL learners were selected through convenience sampling and divided randomly into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups completed pretests and posttests, and the experimental group received nine 90-minute sessions focused on teaching descriptive essay writing using LOA syllabi and mobile applications related to the tasks. The control group followed a traditional writing syllabus without any LOA-related treatments. Both groups used the Adobe Connect mobile application for their online classes. Two open-ended questions were administered to the experimental group at the beginning and end of the course to measure their attitudes toward mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). The data were analyzed using a repeated-measures two-way ANOVA, revealing that mobile-assisted LOA significantly improved the EFL learners’ writing ability. The results of the two open-ended questions indicated that the learners had a positive attitude toward MALL in general but a somewhat negative attitude toward online classes. The findings have important implications for teachers, materials developers, and teacher educators.
