Its aim is to diagnose the situation concerning the application and use of formative assessment tools by foreign language teachers, with a focus on assessing their students’ speaking skills. The questionnaire consists of 26 statements describing particular actions or activities undertaken by a teacher in a foreign language classroom. The respondent is asked to read the statement and choose an answer out of five options (always, usually, sometimes, seldom, never) which reflects his/her familiarity with a given activity and frequency of using it.

Filling in the questionnaire helps teachers reflect on the teaching methods, techniques, or particular tools which they use in language classes. The questionnaire can be applied in foreign language courses at various educational institutions: primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, in practical language classes at faculties of modern languages, private language schools and other institutions in which foreign languages are taught and learned.
