It examines their localised LAL needs in the natural teaching contexts and also documents LAL developmental trajectories by tracking how instructors acquire, enhance, and sustain LAL through engagement in assessment practices. Furthermore, the book explores the construction of instructors' assessment identities alongside their LAL development. Finally, the study analyses how contextual, experiential, and personal factors influence instructors’ LAL development, probes challenges and opportunities they may encounter, and explores how they mobilise these dynamics to enhance their LAL  and construct their assessment identities.\nThe findings offer practical insights for university English instructors, university\/department administrators, assessment trainers\/training providers. These insights serve as guidance for enhancing instructors' LAL, thereby improving assessment quality within Chinese universities.","brand":"Ling Gan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53628133835079,"sku":"9789819523252","price":160.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5455\/2903\/files\/language-assessment-literacy-development-ebook.webp?v=1775017059"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5455\/2903\/collections\/ling-gan-autor-kollektion.webp?v=1775017057","url":"https:\/\/www.cinebuch.de\/collections\/ling-gan.oembed","provider":"CineBuch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
