The Application of Formative Assessment to Primary School English Teaching
Abstract
With the deepening of the new curriculum reform, the pursuit of the quality of primary school English classroom teaching is the teaching goal of every English teacher. In order to improve the quality of English teaching, teachers not only need to innovate teaching methods and change teaching concepts, but also need to attach great importance to effective teaching evaluation. Teaching evaluation is an indispensable part of teaching activities, and a scientific evaluation system is a powerful guarantee for achieving teaching goals. This article mainly introduces the application of formative evaluation in primary school English teaching, the significance of formative evaluation and the problems that should be paid attention to in the application process, so as to help primary school English teachers fully understand and use formative evaluation to evaluate primary school students. English learning stimulates students' interest in learning English and improves the level of English teaching in primary schools.References
