Abstract

In order to comply with the trend of reform and innovation in education evaluation, the Ministry of Education issued the Ordinary High School English Curriculum Standards, and proposed to establish an integrated ecosystem of "teaching assessment" to help basic English teachers implement the concept of "promoting learning through evaluation" in the classroom, which emphasizes the language assessment competence in the professional competence of teachers. The current situation of English teachers' language assessment competence is mainly reflected in three aspects: weak basic knowledge, lack of correct assessment cognition and unskilled operation skills. This article will start from the status quo of language assessment competence, explore effective ways to cultivate basic English teachers' language assessment competence.
