Abstract :The study examined the effects of interactionist dynamic assessment on EFL learners\\\' feedback literacy in writing, comparing it with traditional written corrective feedback. It also explored learners\\\' perceptions of this assessment approach. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design, the study collected both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were gathered through the Feedback Literacy Scale to address the first research question regarding the impact of interactionist dynamic assessment on feedback literacy. Qualitative data were obtained from interviews to address the second research question concerning learners\\\' perceptions of interactionist dynamic assessment. The findings indicated that interactionist dynamic assessment was more effective than written corrective feedback in enhancing students\\\' feedback literacy. Learners reported predominantly positive experiences with interactionist dynamic assessment, noting improved understanding, increased motivation, a heightened awareness of errors, and a sense of being valued through individualized learning opportunities. Consequently, EFL teachers are encouraged to incorporate interactionist dynamic assessment into their writing classes to enhance the feedback process, improve student feedback uptake, and foster better teacher-student interactions.
