Formative assessment plays a pivotal role in learner-centered language instruction by offering continuous feedback, guiding individualized learning paths, and enhancing student autonomy. This study explores how formative assessment supports language development in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, focusing on student engagement, instructional adjustment, and skill progression. Based on data from teacher interviews, classroom observations, and student reflections, the research highlights key strategies, outcomes, and challenges related to formative assessment in learner-centered classrooms.
