| An effective assessment system is indispensable to the current reform of EFL teaching in China which emphasizes the importance of the Multimedia Computer-assisted Language Learning (MCALL). A tentative model of formative assessment for MCALL is designed and implemented in two classes attended by 58 students. Qualitative and quantitative data show that the introduced assessment system not only stimulates learner_s motivation and interest to learn, but also makes it possible to monitor and facilitate learner_s learning process as well as their autonomy in learning. More noticeably observed is the successfully cultivation of learner_s autonomy, cooperative learning and communicative skills.
Keywords multimedia-based learning, Formative Assessment, Learners_ Autonomy, Cooperative Learning. |
