The data and responses revealed that formative assessment could motivate students better, especially during the process of English learning. It also revealed some problems existing in the assessment strategies implemented in this study, such as the impartiality of peer-assessment and the poor efficiency of group work.展开更多

In this paper, the author will focus on the influences of motivations which play crucial roles in second language acquisition.展开更多
