THE INTEGRATION OF FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
Keywords:
Key words: Formative Assessment, Summative Assessment, English Language Teaching, Student Learning Outcomes, Feedback, Instructional StrategiesAbstract
Article explores the integration of formative and summative assessment in
English language teaching, emphasizing the importance of both assessment types in
enhancing student learning outcomes. Formative assessment, which occurs during the
learning process, provides ongoing feedback to students and teachers, allowing for
adjustments in instruction and learning strategies. Summative assessment, conducted
at the end of an instructional period, evaluates student learning against specific
benchmarks or standards. The article discusses various strategies for effectively
combining these assessments, such as using formative assessments to inform
summative evaluations and ensuring that both types of assessments align with learning
objectives. By integrating formative and summative assessments, educators can create
a more holistic approach to evaluating student progress and fostering language
development.
