Abstract
Assessment during the process of learning is important to gain information about the students’ as well as the teachers’ performance. Teachers do assessment as one of the activities in the teaching and learning process. Assessment literacy is a requirement for teachers in order to get accurate information about the students’ progress or achievement during the learning process. The accurate information about the students’ progress in learning will help the teachers to decide what to do in the next step of teaching. Therefore, every language teacher should have assessment literacy. Assessment literacy covers several aspects including knowledge, skills, and principles of assessment. This article explains the teachers’ assessment literacy and the implementation of assessment principles they use in assessing the students. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires and interviewing English language teachers. The respondents filling in the questionnaires about assessment literacy are 18 lecturers. The data gained were analyzed in a quantitative way by calculating the percentage. While the data from the interview were analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that teachers possess very high level of assessment literacy knowledge in six aspects and high level in one aspect. No teachers have low or poor knowledge of assessment literacy level. Based on the result of interview to five teachers, they have implemented the assessment principles well.
