EFL teachers’ conceptions of Alternative Assessment (AA) strategies in English language classrooms are of significance since they can affect the teachers’ overall performance in the classroom. This study aimed to explore Iranian EFL teachers’ conceptions of AA strategies. In so doing, a sequential mixed methods design was used. The participants of the study consisted of 30 (15 males and 15 females) Iranian EFL teachers with MA and Ph.D. degrees in English language teaching (ELT) who were selected through convenience sampling. To collect the required data, the Teachers’ Perceptions of Alternative Assessment Questionnaire (Elharrar) was used as an open-ended questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted through qualitative thematic analysis and presenting the extracted themes in frequency and percentage formats. It was found that most of the teachers perceived the positive influences of AA. Additionally, it was revealed that the teachers attached some advantages to AA that help them provide a more quality teaching environment. The findings of this study may render implications for EFL teachers, teacher trainers, and administrators.

The present study investigated Iranian EFL teachers' alternative assessment literacy (AAL). The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. To achieve more accurate results, the AAL inventory (Mertler & Campbell, 2005) and an interview with ten teachers (to explore their challenges) were used to collect the data. The study participants were 306 Iranian TEFL teachers teaching English in different language institutes in Tehran. The study results revealed that Iranian EFL teachers enjoyed moderate knowledge of AAL. Also, their beliefs in employing AAL standards in L2 classroom assessment and its related methods were valuable and appreciated presenting their awareness of the issue. In addition, they claimed to have used specific alternative assessment-related strategies and practices in the L2 classroom. The findings imply that EFL teachers' AAL is inadequate as they cannot perform well in practice, while theoretically, they are knowledgeable enough. Therefore, continuous in-service training programs on educational assessment and AAL should be considered to cater to teachers' assessment literacy problems in the Iranian context.

هدف پژوهش حاضر، شناسایی موانع اجرایی رویکرد یادگیری دانش آموز محور از دیدگاه معلمان زبان انگلیسی بوده که با رویکرد ترکیبی هم گرا انجام شده است. روش تحقیق کیفی در این پژوهش، مطالعه موردی و در بخش کمّی پیمایشی بوده است. ابزار جمع آوری اطلاعات بخش کیفی، مصاحبه نیمه ساختاریافته و ابزار بخش کمّی، پرسش نامه بومی سازی شده است. جامعه آماری بخش کیفی و کمّی، معلمان زبان انگلیسی در مدارس دوره متوسطه دوم نواحی شهر کرمانشاه هستند. در بخش کیفی به منظور بررسی عمیق موضوع، با 9 معلم انگلیسی مدارس خاص که با روش نمونه گیری هدفمند انتخاب شده بودند مصاحبه صورت گرفت و در بخش کمّی نیز با روش تمام شماری از 86 نفر اطلاعات گردآوری شد. به منظور تحلیل یافته های کیفی از کدگذاری های متعارف و برای تحلیل اطلاعات کمّی نیز از نرم افزارSPSS استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد از نظر معلمان زبان انگلیسی مدارس دوره متوسطه دوم نواحی شهر کرمانشاه، موانع اصلی اجرای رویکرد دانش آموز محور در کلاس های زبان انگلیسی در 3 محور «سازمانی»، «معلم- دانش آموز- والدین» و «فرهنگی- اجتماعی» دسته بندی شدند. یافته ها بیانگر این است که هرچند معلمان زبان انگلیسی درک کلی از رویکرد یادگیری دانش آموز محور دارند، اما به دلیل محدودیت ها که اساسی ترین آن ها محوریت سازمانی دارند، معلمان همچنان به رویکرد معلم محور پایبند هستند.

Purpose: This paper addressed this issue by presenting a model for promoting the professional competency of EFL teachers in Iran. Methodology: In order to accomplish the purpose of the study, the grounded theory was adopted to investigate EFL expert teachers’ (key informants) articulations, experiences, and concerns about the subject and to develop a theoretical model across the participants; therefore, semi-structured interviews were conducted to 21 EFL experts (EFL faculty members, teacher trainers, supervisors and EFL teachers) who were selected by snowball sampling. Interview data, were analyzed with a grounded theory approach using constant comparison method. Findings: Major findings of the study suggested a multi-dimensional model of professional competency highly relevant to EFL teachers: cognitive/language skills competence; attitudinal/behavioral competence; and management competence. The interviewees also suggested that these competencies are under the effect of such influential factors in Iran as curriculum, individual characteristics, management and organization support, community, information technology, and media Conclusion: Furthermore, as a consequence of professional competency, it was clarified that EFL teachers' competencies affect their values, enthusiasm, communications and practice and most importantly supports their professional life long development. Policy makers and teacher training programmers can hopefully benefit from the presented competency model while making adaptations in teacher training both at pre-service and in-service levels.

Along with growing technology, the flipped learning model has emerged as an alternative to conventional teaching methods. The present study attempted to investigate the students' perceptions of a flipped learning classroom experience contrasted with those of a non-flipped or conventional classroom. To this end, 23 Iranian EFL learners were assigned to two groups. During the first ten weeks, non-flipped teaching was applied to class A and flipped learning to class B. After the midterm, during the next ten weeks, the teaching methods were reversed. The students were interviewed in-depth about their impressions of the learning experience. Also, a questionnaire and students' portfolios were used to draw comprehensive conclusions. The qualitative analysis of data revealed four themes: flipped or non-flipped, working with technology, group commitment, and student-teacher relationship. Overall, learners had contrasting views about learning in the flipped classroom. In general, they preferred non-flipped classroom.
