Guiding Formative Self Evaluation and Promoting Students' Autonomous Study

培养学生的自主学习能力是大学英语教学的重要环节之一,系统性导入形成性自我评价有利于调动学生自主学习的积极性,提高他们的自主学习能力。

Promoting autonomous learning is an important aspect of college English teaching. Traditional summative assessmentsystem, which holds a dominant position in Chinese universities, demotivates autonomous learning. This paper argues that systematic introduction of formative self-assessment is highly constructive in motivating and optimizing autonomous learning. The application of dynamic formative self-assessment should comply with the following principles： （1） students as the principal participants, （2） multiple perspectives in terms of assessment scope, （3） assessment for instruction, and （4） assessment for motivating learning, Effective methods of formative self-assessment include questionnaires, interviews, diaries, journals and learners＇ portfolios.
