Researchers have done a lot of researches on formative assessment in theory. However, in practice there is no research on how formative assessment is implemented in some school. This research object is English teachers in Senior One and adopts the method of delivering questionnaires and interviewing.

They observe and talk with students a lot in order to have a better understanding on the students'situation. In fact, they are doing what they can to solve the problems that students face in life. However, in using assessing tools, assessing objectives, assessing people, assessing results, I find the general situation and the underlined reasons. Moreover, I provide some useful suggestions.
