我国教育部2004初年新制定的《大学英语课程教学要求》要求教师们应转变教学评价理念,关注形成性评价,形成性评价是对学生日常学习过程中的表现、所取得的成绩以及所反映出的情感、态度、策略等方面的发展做出评价。本文作者经过分析研究发现采用形成性评价有助于学生成为自主学习者,能够提高大学英语教学质量。 The newly-developed “Requirements for College English Course Teaching” formulated by the Ministry of Education in 2004 requires teachers to change the teaching evaluation concept and focus on formative evaluation. Formal evaluation is a reflection of students’ performance in the daily learning process, as well as the achievements they have achieved. Evaluate the development of emotions, attitudes and strategies. The author of this article after analysis and research found that the use of formative assessment helps students become autonomous learners and can improve the quality of college English teaching.
