| Research Abstract |
The study examined the effects of using formative (peer and self-reflection) assessment for six months in junior high school EFL lessons. All students were engaged in pair speaking activities which another pair observed. In the experiemental groups, students filled in a peer assessment and self-reflective comment sheet after the activity, while the control groups repeated practice insead of filling the form. There was no statistically significant difference in the post-listening test scores between the experiemental and control groups, although both groups show statistically significant improvement from the pre-test scores. There was no statistically significant difference in post-self-assessment measures between the experiemental and controle groups. Speaking test data is currently being analyzed.
