contents A Reflection on Initiatives for Teachers’ Professional Development Through Language Assessment Literacy Frank Giraldo Educación teacher training Language assessment literacy language testing and assessment professional development programs teachers’ professional development In this reflection article I examine language assessment literacy initiatives and their possible impact on teachers, and I discuss the connections that exist between language assessment literacy and teachers’ professional development. I explain that training for language assessment literacy may primarily foster teachers’ knowledge and skills and, secondarily, principles for language assessment (e.g., fairness). In conclusion, existing language assessment literacy initiatives, while limited in number, have the potential to advance teachers’ language assessment literacy overall and contribute to their professional development. Thus, this article may be useful to language teacher educators, particularly in the Colombian context. 2021 artículo científico 1657-0790 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=169265649013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169265649013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169265649013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169265649013/169265649013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1692/169265649013/movil 10.15446/profile.v23n1.83094 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1692 Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.23
