This article presents and discusses the results of an intervention case study conducted at a Brazilian public university. The aim of this work is to discuss evidence of preservice teachers’ assessment literacy development during and after the completion of a theoretical-practical credit course dedicated to the theme of assessment in language contexts. This research is based on studies on language assessment literacy (Inbar-Lourie, 2008; Quevedo-Camargo; Scaramucci, 2018) in preservice teacher education (Fernandes; Borges-Almeida, 2021; Giraldo, 2018; Giraldo; Murcia, 2018, 2019; Restrepo Bolivar, 2020) and on assessment as a mechanism to guide learning (Black, 2015; Black; Wiliam, 2010; 2018; Carless, 2007). Seven students of an English Language and Literature degree participated in this investigation. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and document analysis of tasks designed by the participants, and were analyzed using the content analysis method (Bardin, 2011). Results indicate gains in participants' literacy regarding the conception of assessment to support and guide learning, and the understanding of the qualities of good assessment practices, especially reliability, supported by rubrics.
