QUEIROZ, Rodrigo Nascimento de  e  CONSOLO, Douglas Altamiro. Washback effect of an application of a proficiency examination for teachers. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.72, pp.832-857. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v29i72.4547.

This paper deals with some issues related to the analysis of two narratives written by in-service and pre-service English language teachers, following an application of a Proficiency Examination for Foreign Language Teachers [Exame de Proficiência para Professores de Língua Estrangeira - EPPLE] in a public university located in the western Amazon. The discussion is based on the following principles: (i) the implications for assessment in the teaching and learning of foreign languages related to the reconstruction and promotion of socialized practices; (ii) the quality of a linguistic, communicative and pedagogical proficiency of foreign language teachers underlying the elements of validity and reliability of EPPLE; and (iii) the intersection of experiences materialized as washback effects from a process of assessment practices. The analysis of the teachers’ discourses indicates an intersection between teachers’ memories and professional experiences.
