Özet

The increasing adoption of English as a language for instruction globally has created a disparity

between the need for a focus on how educators deliver lessons and how they assess students. Effective

assessment can drive student learning and academic success, making it essential that instructors of

preparatory programs are able to assess both their students' foundational disciplinary competence as

well as their level of English proficiency at the same time. This presents an additional challenge for

program instructors because they must develop an AL (assessment literacy) specific to both forms of

assessment. Unfortunately, the development of specialized AL through professional development has

not yet reached a level of maturity as needed in higher education settings. This chapter discusses how

practices in classrooms, reflections of instructors, and policies at institutions demonstrate a

disconnection between summative assessment as the primary measure of achievement in skill-based

courses, while competency-based courses typically utilize formatassessment and provide feedback

based upon the established competencies. Through the analysis of practices and reflections of

instructors, a multifaceted framework for EMI AL is presented, which incorporates the concept of

conceptual knowledge, pedagogical skills, reflective disposition, and contextualized understanding in

developing EMI AL. To develop this EMI AL, the chapter proposes a contextualized development model

based upon the use of reflective practice, mentoring support, and collaboration for the design of

assessment procedures to increase teaching quality and student learning outcomes.
