Formative assessment is crucial to enhance the students’ performance in the classroom. Nevertheless, the instructors need to know the types of assessment which are appropriate to be incorporated to their students effectively. They should monitor the students’ level of proficiency prior to provide feedback to the students in order to ensure that the students are able to maximize the feedback given.

The results revealed that incorporating formative assessment gave a powerful impact on students’ achievement especially in writing task. The fruitful feedback provided by the instructors on the using the Transitional words had helped the students a lot in term of their writing. |
