Features: FLTRP and PEP jointly launched this series of "Cambridge English Teacher Books" to support the training program for English teachers in primary and secondary schools across the country. Users of this series should pay attention to two points: First, this series not only disseminates techniques but more importantly provides ideas and methods; it does not offer ready-made answers to problems but instead presents various theoretical perspectives and viewpoints. Second, readers of this series should strive to initially master research methods in foreign language teaching, learn to design small-scale research projects, conduct classroom observations, design questionnaires, regularly keep teaching logs, sample, collect various data, and perform statistical analysis and data interpretation. This book systematically and comprehensively explores the functions and roles of assessment and evaluation in education; it points out that the purpose of evaluation in classroom teaching is to reinforce students' sense of success and promote learning.
