Abstract

In China, summative evaluation has long been adopted in Integrated English for English majors, which has been proved to be a failure in practice. This paper introduces the concept of formative evaluation and presents a tentative research model of teaching in Integrated English. A one-year experimental project is designed and implemented in Integrated Course. Qualitative and quantitative results of the experiment show that formative evaluation can not only effectively monitor the implementation of every stage of learning, but also successfully cultivate learners’ autonomy in the control over their learning process. Besides, learners’ language ability also sees improvement during the span of experiment.
