Within the project which was supported by Hornby Trust and British Council, the Handbook of Formative Assessment Practices was developed. This Handbook of formative assessment practices will introduce five main strategies of formative assessment suggested by scholars and help teachers to know how to integrate formative assessment in their classroom processes. These strategies, if used, have the potential to improve the learning processes of students, leading to quality education.

This Handbook consists of two parts: Training materials and Articles. The first part of the book is a collection of (self) training materials produced by local experienced teachers and teacher educators E. Menglieva, G. Niyazova, and G. Tojieva. The second part of the Handbook is an edited collection of research articles written by teachers and teacher educators working at local and international universities in Uzbekistan. The units and research articles were reviewed and edited by Elyanora Meglieva, the Project Lead, Nilufar Begibaeva, Republican research centre for the development of innovative methods in teaching foreign languages, Uzbekistan and Inomiddin Imomov, Inservice and retraining institute of managers and specialist personnel of public education system named after A.Avloniy.

The main reason for publishing this Handbook is to offer English language teachers to explore formative assessment practices, implement some of the outlined strategies in their teaching context and reflect on their formative assessment experience. The first part of the Handbook with training materials can be completed individually or in groups with colleagues. This Handbook can be used informally for your own reflections on your formative assessment practices, for teacher training workshops organised in your educational institutions, etc. Besides, the research articles selected for this publication offer some useful insights into the assessment practices in the context of Uzbekistan.
