高职学生的英语自主学习意识比较薄弱,对英语学习缺乏主动性和自主性。本文从形成性评估的基本理论出发,以一项评估实践为例,介绍了英语教学中实施形成性评估的内容、过程和方法。实践结果肯定了形成性评估能有效弥补传统评估体系的不足,提高学生的自主学习能力。 Vocational students have a weak sense of autonomous learning and lack of initiative and autonomy in learning English. Based on the basic theory of formative assessment, this paper takes an assessment practice as an example, introduces the content, process and method of formative assessment in English teaching. The result of practice confirms that formative assessment can effectively make up for the deficiencies of the traditional evaluation system and improve students’ autonomous learning ability.
