Resumen

Este estudio reporta la Literacidad en Evaluación de Lenguas (LEL) en contexto de cinco docentes de inglés. Se usaron dos entrevistas semiestructuradas y diarios de reflexión como instrumentos de recolección de datos. Los hallazgos muestran que los docentes usan instrumentos tradicionales y alternativos de evaluación, evalúan constructos de lengua y otros constructos e incluyen a sus estudiantes en evaluación par cuantitativa. En cuanto a creencias, los datos muestran que el éxito de los estudiantes, o falta de él, en la evaluación se conecta a experiencias pasadas, y que la evaluación es apropiada según un número de condiciones. Las respuestas de los participantes sobre LEL dan cuenta de un constructo complejo y multifacético. En conjunto, los hallazgos proveen información para el desarrollo profesional docente en evaluación de lenguas.
