Abstract

The National English Curriculum Standards for General High Schools (2017 Edition, 2020 Revised) emphasizes that teaching assessment should be carried out throughout the teaching process and be reflected in all aspects of teaching practice, including the process of collecting information through multiple channels, as well as various types of assessment on teaching practice. Assessment plays a crucial role as the last part of the teaching and learning process. Starting from the characteristics and role of formative assessment, this paper excavates the shortcomings of formative assessment in practice and put forward some feasible suggestions.
