Formative vs Summative Assessment

This is to be a proposal for the study detailed below. 1100 words using Harvard referencing using the sources uploaded and any the writer feels are appropriate.

The paper will focus on formative assessment vs summative assessment. The year group will be yr 11 (ages 16-17) and the subject in question is EAP (English for academic purposes) classes and the way they are assessed. 2 systems are currently in place – American HSD system and the UK A-Level system. They are both assessed differently, HSD is more formative, A-Level is more summative. Research the implications of changing the A-Level summative assessment system for EAP and make it more formative, comparing it to the HSD level classes and to see if grades improve or overall student engagement and happiness is improved too. Research methods need to be analysed and talked about, how will the statistics be measured. 2 classes are being taught, these are the same level, same age and same class size so it is a good comparator for this to be a success.
