This study sought to explore what formative assessment strategies are better supported using technology according to college language instructors, and how technology can be used to facilitate the implementation of formative assessment strategies. A gap between the teachers’ beliefs about formative assessment and their real formative assessment applications was found existed due to a lack of professional support (Brink, 2017), heavy workload (Buyukkarci, 2014) and over-crowded language classes (Chen et al., 2013). However, few studies discussed how technology can be used to close the gap and facilitate formative assessment. In this study, 30 language instructors who were interested in computer assisted language learning (CALL) completed a web-based questionnaire of 42 questions. The questionnaire was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative information regarding the perceived use of technology in implementing different formative assessment strategies.
