Introduction

Prior to more profound discussion of assessment in Basics of English for Academic Purposes of level 2 module it is crucial to begin with recognising the difference between the two following types which are formative and summative. It is widely known that formative assessment helps students to achieve a particular level in learning. As regards summative assessment, it is a tool to see what students achieved within a course of study. Therefore, in teaching practice it is rather difficult to use only one of the types because they are equally important and widely used. Cohen (2004) states that, "The distinction between assessment to satisfy the needs of society ('summative' assessment) and assessment to help in both teaching and learning ('formative assessment'). Summative assessment is used for certification purposes, for example, if a student has learned the material and is capable of going on to further study. Formative assessment, on the other hand, takes place during the course and is useful in telling the student how learning is proceeding as well as telling the teacher about success of teaching". In concord with the above definition, formative assessment can be described as students' steps to further progress in learning. Students get guidance in learning by receiving feedback from teachers who show them the right direction to meet the learning criteria.

Moreover, we can quote Maxwell (2004) who states: "All progressive assessment necessarily involves feedback to the student about the quality of their performance. This can be expressed in terms of the student's desired learning outcomes and suggested steps for further development ad improvement". Since, assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning process, it should be based on the following principles of good practice: firstly, assessment should be transparent to students and free from bias in marking. Therefore, it is to be based on the assessment criteria determined by stated learning outcomes for reference by students and assessors. Secondly, assessment criteria should be determined by academic level of students and with the close reference to the learning outcomes for the individual module. Learning outcomes identify what students should be able to demonstrate upon completion of the module. In addition, assessment may include different formats varying from in-class, examinations, presentations, posters, portfolio, projects, coursework and dissertations. Race (2005) also suggests that assessment should be valid, authentic,

incremental, motivating and equitable. He also asserts that assessment should promote deep learning. Finally, assessment should be both formative and summative accompanied with formal or informal feedback.

The implementation of Formative Assessment

According to Reece (2000) formative assessment employs three principles. Firstly, short - term informal assessment is given to students' tests or homework with the purpose of students' general improvement. The second principle is rapid feedback based on question and answer or through tutorial situation. The last principle indicates motivation of students. It relates to a friendly way in which feedback is provided, so that students are more encouraged to improve. Informal assessment is presupposed to be provided with immediate comments on students' performance if necessary. It may serve a purpose of on-going improvement in learning. Thus, the formative assessment goes together with informal feedback. There is a vivid interrelation between them, i.e. final formation in learning is done by giving commentaries to students on overall progress. For example, in Basics of English for Academic Purposes of level 2, a module team had decided to introduce a formative assessment which includes three stages of implementation. Initially, students of BEAP 2 were given a text about the negative consequences of video games to read at home and take notes. Later, students had the listening part of the assessment and took notes of the authentic talk, which was related to the positive effects of playing video games. After the listening part was over it was necessary to write a short summary on both the text and the talk. Having planned the assessment of this nature, the following objectives were set: firstly, students were supposed to learn how to work with texts and distinguish main information. Secondly, the listening part was aimed at developing listening and note-taking skills. Finally, students were taught how to summarise and paraphrase information from different sources. Having completed all the tasks of the assessment students were provided with the informal feedback.

Fig. 1. Students' mark distribution

After that, the students' final papers were checked which further indicated the following outcomes: the average students' marks varied between 55 and 69. Just over half of students showed this result. Other 20 students were successful in completing the task and got good marks from 70 to 84. The top marks were given to 2 students who showed exemplary works. Even though 24 students got the marks below 40, 83 % of students passed the assessment component (Fig. 1).

Conclusion

Traditionally, it is believed that the results revealed by summative assessment are accepted as an indicator of learning process. Similarly, the learning process can be improved if students get timely formative feedback. On one hand, BEAP 2 students' marks show that formative assessment helped them to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and work on the areas that needed to be improved. On the other hand, the teachers could provide assistance in students learning process and address their weak points. To conclude, it can be said that formative assessment is ongoing and can serve as a step towards summative assessment at the end of a learning process.
