Abstract

This study investigates teachers' strategies for implementing formative assessment in English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction at the primary school level and identifies the challenges encountered. An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations and structured interviews involving teachers from three primary schools. A classroom observation checklist documented teacher strategies, while structured interviews identified challenges. The findings indicate that teachers employ strategies such as communicating learning objectives, gathering evidence of learning through interactive and digital activities, and providing targeted feedback. Teachers also adapt their instruction based on formative assessment outcomes to meet students’ needs. The primary challenges identified are time constraints, variations in students’ abilities, and students’ limited confidence in self-reflection. The study recommends technological support, increased time allocation, and professional development to enhance formative assessment implementation. These findings offer practical insights for improving EFL instruction at the primary school level.

Abstract

This study explores students' perspectives on using TikTok as a medium to improve motivation and English-speaking skills in the context of informal learning. Drawing on Krashen's Second Language Acquisition Theory, Media Wealth Theory, and Keller's ARCS Motivation Model, this study examines how educational content from influencers contributes to the learning process in the digital age. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with students who actively use TikTok to learn English. Data was analyzed using an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and a conclusion drawn. The findings show that students independently choose educational content that increases their learning autonomy and intrinsic motivation. TikTok's multimodal and short-form characteristics have proven effective in improving vocabulary mastery, pronunciation accuracy, and speaking confidence through daily conversation simulations. Additionally, a relaxed digital environment helps lower psychological barriers, such as anxiety when speaking. However, there are challenges, including a lack of real, practical opportunities in a formal classroom environment. Overall, students rate TikTok as a very promising add-on tool for supporting English-speaking proficiency outside the traditional classroom.
