Assessment literacy is an almost newly concept which is dealt with in the language assessment domain and needs much more research studies to reach a better understanding of the issue. The present study was an attempt to illuminate native and non-native English teachers’ perspectives about assessment literacy. It also aims to seek whether there is any relationship between native and non-native English teachers’ perceptions on assessment literacy and their experience. A mixed methods design was recruited. In the quantitative phase, Classroom Assessment Literacy Inventory was utilized which consisted of five Scenarios, each followed by seven questions. Through convenience sampling, the questionnaire was administered among 100 native and non-native teachers in person or by E-mail. In the qualitative phase, a semi-structure interview was run with 10 voluntary teachers. Quantitative findings revealed there was a positive relationship between native English teachers’ perceptions regarding assessment literacy and their experience. However, there was not any significant relationship between non-native English teachers’ perceptions regarding assessment literacy and their experience. As to the qualitative results, seven codes were classified according to three themes (assessment assumptions, assessment targets, and professional development). The codes were classroom observations, assessment consistency, formative assessments, summative assessment, higher-order thinking skills, lack of assessment literacy of coursework, and lack of technology assessment literacy. It is concluded that teachers should assume the role of classroom observation and consistency of the assessment as two major assumptions of assessment. Besides, valid assessment should be designed in order to activate the higher-order thinking skills of the students.
