Abstract

This article explores the impact of formative assessment on improving students’ learning outcomes in English language education. Formative assessment, as an ongoing process of monitoring students' progress and providing immediate feedback, plays a key role in enhancing students' motivation, language skills, and academic engagement. The paper examines theoretical foundations, practical implementation strategies, and examples of how formative assessment contributes to the development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. It also discusses how teachers can integrate assessment effectively into the teaching process to support individual learning needs.
