Abstract

English Stylistics is provided as an elective course by the Business English major at Guangdong Technology College, whose evaluation mechanism significantly impacts how well students learn the language. A novel assessment model is put forth in this study with the intention of transforming from a single summative assessment to a combination of formative and summative assessment in light of the shortcomings of the current assessment methodology in the course. In order to take advantage of blended teaching and integrate the online and offline learning resources of English Stylistics, all-round reforms have been carried out at multiple levels, including teaching content, teaching methods, and assessment approaches. Therefore, a more reasonable and diversified assessment method has been adopted to more comprehensively reflect students’ learning objectives and proficiency in foreign languages.
