These include assessment\, understood as a formative\, continuous practice\, which “helps students and teachers monitor progress and achievement”. In recent years\, there has been an organisation-wide drive to consolidate our teachers’ technical and practical understanding of assessment\, which has been fleshed out in training and a heightened focus on classroom implementation. \nIn this context\, I set out to explore teachers’ discourse construction of assessment\, to ascertain their beliefs around this notion\, with the assumption that looking at teachers’ conceptualisations might allow schools and organisations to devise professional development programmes that are more finely tuned to staff development needs. \nI use a critical discourse analysis perspective\, given that I aim to explore teachers’ concepts as evident in their speech. To this purpose\, I gathered a speech sample obtained from 10 short teacher interviews. I use the theoretical construct of affect to analyse the teachers’ evaluative language around assessment. \nPreliminary results highlight teachers’ developing understanding of assessment\, their knowledge gaps around continuous assessment\, their biases\, and positive and negative affect markers. \n  \nThe speakers: \nViktor Carrasquero is currently the Primary Courses Senior Teacher at the British Council in Hong Kong. His main research interests include teacher training\, pronunciation and its teaching\, second language acquisition\, discourse analysis and variationist sociolinguistics. He is also a Trinity CertTESOL\, Cambridge DELTA\, and Trinity DipTESOL local tutor. \nIATEFL Event page: https://www.iatefl.org/events/518 \nZoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_43kjsGmJTWKWqmCyS4I3WQ#/registration URL:https://tea.iatefl.org/event/joint-teasig-tdsig-event-analysing-teachers-discourse-around-assessment-a-critical-discourse-analysis-perspective/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tea.iatefl.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/TEASIG_Webinar_28022024_Viktor-Carrasquero.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240123T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240123T180000 DTSTAMP:20260405T225248 CREATED:20240123T071007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240123T071007Z UID:2445-1706029200-1706032800@tea.iatefl.org SUMMARY:Joint TEASIG & LTSIG webinar: Exploring the impact of Generative AI on language education: insights from teachers DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Evelina Galaczi & Nahal Khabbazbashi \nIt feels like every morning we wake up to hundreds of opinion pieces on the use of Generative AI (Gen-AI) in education\, but there is surprisingly little research into how English teachers are actually using this technology. In this webinar\, we will explore language teachers’ use and attitudes to Gen-AI by drawing on findings from a recent study involving surveys from teachers from 70 countries and in-depth focus groups. Through the insights we share we hope to help the webinar participants better navigate the fast-changing AI landscape\, develop a critical perspective towards this powerful and disruptive technology\, and spark a few ideas for their own classrooms. \n  URL:https://tea.iatefl.org/event/joint-teasig-ltsig-webinar-exploring-the-impact-of-generative-ai-on-language-education-insights-from-teachers/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231123T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20231123T100000 DTSTAMP:20260405T225248 CREATED:20230605T132857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231030T102800Z UID:2267-1700730000-1700733600@tea.iatefl.org SUMMARY:TEASIG: Testing language learners remotely: prioritizing equity\, fairness\, and social justice DESCRIPTION: URL:https://tea.iatefl.org/event/teasig-testing-language-learners-remotely-prioritizing-equity-fairness-and-social-justice/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231025T160000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231025T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T225248 CREATED:20230605T132601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230605T132916Z UID:2265-1698249600-1698253200@tea.iatefl.org SUMMARY:TEASIG: Ecological validity of assessment in education DESCRIPTION: URL:https://tea.iatefl.org/event/teasig-ecological-validity-of-assessment-in-education/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230909T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230909T123000 DTSTAMP:20260405T225248 CREATED:20231104T081957Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231104T083216Z UID:2356-1694250000-1694262600@tea.iatefl.org SUMMARY:TEASIG Online EVENT: Developing Assessment Tasks for the Classroom DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Sakeh Manassian\, Kathrin Eberharter\, Olena Rossi\, Michael Fields \nAssessment tasks play a vital role in gauging student progress. While experts craft standardized tests\, what about developing tailored assessment tasks for your classroom? As teachers\, you assess for various goals daily. But have you ever considered creating your institution’s tests to measure term or course learning? \nThis online seminar delves into the art of developing classroom assessment tasks\, understanding test item creation\, required skills\, and valuable resources.

Classroom-based assessment has been an increasing area of focus in ELT quite recently. There is a wealth of research on language assessment literacy (LAL) to do with teachers\, what they should do to attain it\, and the consequences of them not having it. Less attention has been paid to the LAL of learners and other stakeholders in school ecosystems. In this year’s PCE\, we would like to explore LAL for the range of stakeholders that are engaged with LAL in the classroom from different perspectives in the teaching and learning process\, and raise awareness of how increased LAL through the school system can support and elevate teaching and learning. \nParticipants can expect an engaging day of plenaries and workshops\, with plenty of opportunities for discussion and interaction. The two plenaries will set the scene focusing firstly on the school system and then on teachers\, and be followed by workshops looking at the practical aspects of LAL in the classroom. This year we have also built in a sharing and networking activity to enable participants more time for interaction and engagement. \nFor more information click here: https://tea.iatefl.org/events/teasig-iatefl-2023/ URL:https://tea.iatefl.org/event/teasig-iatefl-2023-pre-conference-event/ LOCATION:Harrogate Convention Centre\, King's Rd\, Harrogate HG1 5LA\, Harrogate\, United Kingdom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230316T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230316T220000 DTSTAMP:20260405T225248 CREATED:20230303T211548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230303T223614Z UID:2175-1678957200-1679004000@tea.iatefl.org SUMMARY:Language Assessment LocalisationLanguage Assessment Localisation in Action: Lessons from Japan and Singapore.
