Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En algún momento de su profesión, los profesores de idiomas necesitan involucrarse en la evaluación de lenguas. Debido a que la evaluación es un deber central del docente, actualmente el campo de la evaluación de lenguas extranjeras se encuentra promoviendo la investigación sobre los conocimientos, las destrezas y los principios fundamentales para procesos de evaluación confiables. En este artículo, doy una definición de la Literacidad en Evaluación de Lenguas (LEL), especialmente en lo que concierne a docentes de idiomas, a través de una revisión de modelos de LEL existentes. Luego hago una discusión sobre los temas que siguen en desarrollo en esta área. El artículo lo termino ofreciendo unas recomendaciones para fomentar la LEL entre docentes en formación y aquellos en servicio. En el artículo argumento que, al existir más iniciativas para la formación docente a través de LEL, como formadores de docentes estaremos mejorando el estatus y la naturaleza de la evaluación de lenguas extranjeras y su impacto en el desarrollo profesional docente.
