Title: An Empirical Study of Applying Formative Assessment to College English Oral Testing
Abstract: College English oral tests organized by higher institutions,has a wider coverage of examinees than that of CET-SET.Therefore,these oral tests usually play a more important role in promoting learning than assessing it.The traditional summative assessment gives a score directly according to examinees' performance,but it can not help the examinees judge their oral proficiency or find the right way to improve it.However,the formative assessment,which focuses on the process of assessment,plays a complementary role.In this paper,the results of formative assessment in college English oral test are compared with those of the summative assessment in it.And a questionnaire on formative assessment is carried out to verify the positive feedback in promoting teaching and learning spoken English.
