形成性评价在大学英语口语教学中的应用

在一般教学中，教师通常都是通过测验、期中或期末考试来获取有关学生学习情况的反馈，对教学和学习进行评估。这种评估往往忽视了学生在学习过程中的情感、态度、努力程度和存在的问题。形成性评价则是在教学过程中进行的评价，为引导教学过程正确、完善地进展而对学生学习行为进行的评价。本文分析了形成性评价的涵义、目的、原则，并提出了形成性评价的模式及其在大学英语口语教学中的实践方法。

Application of Formative Assessment to Teaching of Oral English Class

In the traditional English language teaching, summative assessment is widely adapted and accepted. However, this assessment method is neither scientific nor reasonable. Both language teaching and learning are a process, the result of which can not be evaluated through one or two tests, espe- cially for oral English teaching and learning. Formative assessment is a form of testing that requires students to perform a task. The paper studies the meaning, the purposes and the principles of formative assessment, and proposes the model and the ways of applying formative assessment in college oral English classes.
