Summary
Summative and formative electronic assessment can be used in the foreign-language classroom to provide appropriate feedback to learners. However, this presupposes that the learners (and the teacher) are sufficiently informed about the use of digital media and have already tried and used them. Therefore, at the beginning of this chapter there is a brief update of digitization. Mostly, electronic assessment and feedback is used for summative determination of the achieved learning level; the higher education sector predominates. In school-based instruction, electronic assessment and feedback occur less frequently. However, these feedback practices have increased dramatically in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the United States, but also in European countries. Electronic assessment can be used for more than just summative feedback.
