Besides, and in order to make a comparison with the CEFRL, Harmer (2007) also speaks about these types of assessment: formative and summative. He states that “summative assessment is the kind of measurement that takes place to round things off or make a one-off measurement; such tests include the end-of-year tests that students take” (p, 379). Meanwhile, formative assessment relates to the kind of feedback teachers give to students as a course is progressing and which, as a result, may help them to improve their performance (Harmer, 2007).
