Abstract

Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) for teachers is a pivotal content area which teachers must have for their prefessional development. Despite increasing interest in language assessment, research focusing on LAL of pre-service and in-service teachers, especially in Indonesian EFL context, has yet to receive due attention.

This study aimed to investigate Indonesian EFL pre-service and in-service teachers’ literacy of classroom assessment. Using a quantitative approach with ex-post facto research design, this study examined the extent of assessment literacy among EFL pre-service and in-service teachers. Participants were 60 English department students who have done teaching practicum courses and 41 in-service teachers in the Indonesian province of East Java. The finding revealed that the pre-service and in-service teachers perceived a moderate level of assessment literacy. Further, the two groups of participants demonstrated a statistically significant difference in overall assessment literacy, as well as in two of its dimensions, namely administering and scoring assessment results and alternative assessment. The findings of this study could shed light to the understanding of EFL pre-service and in-service teachers’ literacy of classroom assessment.

This study depicts the impact of creating YouTube Video project to facilitate students’ critical thinking skill at which the qualitative case study is employed. Six third year students of English Department learning the topic of English for Medical are selected purposively. The interview questions analyzed thematically and documentation of YouTube Video processed descriptively using scoring rubric are utilized. The finding revealed that: (1) students were aware of the learning which is based on project and understand critical thinking; (2) students perceived creating YouTube video project in learning the topic of English for Medical as a tool to facilitate critical thinking skill; (3) students demonstrated their satisfactory improvement in English for Medical; and (4) students were aware of digital literacy to support their future career and lifelong learning. Meanwhile, the documentation of YouTube video shows that students’ video uploading onto YouTube were excellent in term of length, content accuracy, and presentation.

Consequently, YouTube Video is unclear if it would be widely utilized, particularly, for those who intend to learn English for Medical. This implied that students’ critical thinking skill in creating a project needs improvement.
