Formative assessment emerged under humanism and constructivist theory of learning, which is being accepted and used in English teaching in China. There are lots of researches focusing on formative assessment in middle school.

Based on the questionnaire targeted to two classes of digital control majors in Shandong Light Engineering School, this thesis intends to study the influence of assessment on secondary vocational school students and explore how formative assessment strategies can be used in secondary vocational school English teaching. The findings of this study show that formative assessment is more effective to aid secondary vocational school learners to master metacognitive strategies, strengthen motivation, form positive affect and improve English achievement.The thesis consists of seven parts: an introduction, the following five chapters and conclusion.
