Language assessment literacy (LAL) refers to language teachers familiarity with testing definitions and the application of this knowledge to classroom practices in general and specifically to issues related to assessing language. It has been stressed that teachers should be assessment literate to implement classroom assessment appropriately, to explain the results of their tests to stakeholders, and to follow the standards of assessment rules. Although there have been many studies on language assessment programs on LAL, it appears that there has not been a sufficient and comprehensive model of LAL which language assessment scholars agreed for the language assessment development program for language teachers. This paper reviews studies on LAL and explores their underlying theories over the last decade. Based on the reviewed language assessment theories and research results, it defines the constructs of LAL and describes a comprehensive model of LAL in order to provide a framework for language assessment development programs for contemporary language teachers.
