ASSESSMENT AND FEEDBACK IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
Keywords:
assessment, feedback, English language teaching, formative assessment, learner motivation, communicative competenceAbstract
Assessment and feedback are essential components of effective English language
teaching (ELT). Modern pedagogy views assessment not only as a tool for measuring
knowledge but also as a means of enhancing learning through constructive and timely
feedback. This article examines different types of assessment used in ELT, explores
the psychological and pedagogical impact of feedback on learners, and discusses
innovative strategies that promote student engagement and language development. The
study emphasizes the importance of formative assessment, learner-centered feedback,
and reflective practices in improving communicative competence and learner
autonomy.
