Summary:Thus, understanding teachers’ online assessment practices and what factors influence their practices is important for not only assessment trainers, but also language educators and policy makers in TESOL and Applied Linguistics. Situated in China’s mainland, this study investigates the online assessment practices during the pandemic of six English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in a Chinese university. We qualitatively explored what changes they made to adjust to the needs of the new assessment mode and what factors mediated their changes of practices.
