Abstract

The paper discusses the issues related to the language assessment literacy (LAL) of Ukrainian university teachers of English. The author overviews the development of LAL beginning in 2010 when the first survey of LAL state was conducted by her. The surveys conducted later enabled the comparison of teacher respondents’ perceptions of the advances and/or issues in LAL. Although the surveys were not large-scale, the samples were quite fully representative of the university teacher community which allowed to capture the major trends of LAL development. The author further describes the activities of a professional non-for-profit organization – Ukrainian Association for Language Testing and Assessment (UALTA) who made a major contribution to LAL development in the past 6 years by regularly holding training events. The latest event was an in-service teacher training (INSETT) course conducted online. The course has laid theoretical and organizational bases for the future events of such kind.
