| Abstract | This article investigates the relativeeffectiveness of online and paper-based formativeassessment in the learning of English as a secondlanguage. For this study, 74 Japanese universitysecond language (L2) students took online quizzes,while 71 were given paper-based quizzes to complete.The quiz content was drawn from learning materialfound in the class textbook. Both groups wereassigned the exercises as homework. At the end of the15-week study period, both groups were administereda summative assessment that also covered learningpoints from the textbook. After controlling for thelearners' L2 proficiency through their TOEIC testscores, the performance of the two groups on theformative quiz was compared through correlation andregression analysis. While there was found to be astatistically significant relationship between theonline formative assessment and summative exam scores, this was not the case for the paper-basedhomework. When compared through an analysis ofcovariance, there was found to be a significantinteraction between group and homework on examscores. The online group was more affected by theirhomework score than the pencil and paper group. Thefindings from this study have implications forteachers, learners and curriculum developers. |
