Formative assessment in the foreign language classroom

Abstract

The objective of every good teacher is that students can have a successful and progressive performance throughout the course. However, there are times when what is taught in the classroom is not enough for the proper outcome of some students who may have some learning difficulties. “What should we do with these students?”, “how can we find the source of their real difficulty?” and “how to deal with such problems?” are common questions among teachers and about which we intend to reflect in this work. In order to do so, we decided to compare our students with a patient looking for medical care, in order to show him the steps to overcome the difficulties he might face
