DeepThink-Mediated Language Assessment Literacy: EFL Teachers’ Practices and Insights from China and Cambodia Volume 13 Stephen Louw Wenwen Tian Language Assessment Literacy Language Assessment Literacy in China and Cambodia DeepThink-Mediated Language Assessment Literacy <p style="text-align: justify;">Inspired by Coombe et al.&rsquo;s (2020) conceptualization of Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) as a recursive process of learning, unlearning, and relearning, we reflect on how teachers&rsquo; LAL is socially and technologically mediated in using DeepSeek&rsquo;s DeepThink function. Through reflective analysis of Wenwen&rsquo;s supervisory interactions with her MA student in China, and Steve&rsquo;s in-service teacher education practices in Cambodia, this reflective paper contributes to the discussions about LAL in the age of AI. We present our successes and failures with promoting the use of AI as a tool for the development of LAL in teachers and learners. Our experiences with LAL and AI are framed in Coombe et al.&rsquo;s (2020) recursive cycle of LAL development.</p> Language Testing in Focus: An International Journal 2026-07-05 Text https://api.eurokd.com/Uploads/Article/2189/ltf.2026.13.05.pdf https://doi.org/10.32038/ltf.2026.13.05 en Pages 77–88
