The Effect of formative assessment on students’ grades in learning English

Abstract

Objective: Assessment is an important for learning and teaching and is an important component for further development if they use the right approach. This research focuses on how formative evaluation can be an important contributor to the encouragement of students to learn English as a kind of favorable evaluation.  Method: This study explores the results of formative assessments through questionnaires for 24 students and 5 for teachers, in the SMA 1 Alla-Enrekang, where English is taught as a foreign language. Result: It is assumed that formative assessment has a major influence on what students learn and how the teacher validates. Discussion: Formative assessment can help teachers anticipate initial concerns for student disparity in the development of learning. Therefore, this assessment method cannot accurately assess the frequency of student acquisition, because it varies from one teacher to another and subjects with other subjects.
