Abstract
English as a lingua franca (ELF) has challenged English language teaching and learning and has recently impacted teacher education as well as teacher beliefs and practices. Nevertheless, there are very few studies exploring teachers’ beliefs and practices towards ELF-aware assessment. Within the framework of an online ERASMUS+ course, the current study investigated the perceptions of English language teachers towards assessment within two multilingual contexts, Norway and Italy. The data were collected through the assessment course activities and final assignments. The findings showed that most teachers were in agreement with balancing ELF-aware teaching and assessment but struggled to address formative and summative assessment mandates in their multilingual contexts. The evolving classroom context that characterizes multilingual settings demands teachers to develop flexibility and innovation as part of their language assessment literacy trajectories. This study has several implications for language teachers, teacher trainers, and future researchers.
