In the ever-evolving landscape of online education, assessing student learning has become an essential yet challenging task. 

For ESL teachers, effective assessments go beyond determining whether students have met language objectives; they provide valuable insight into each student’s progress, areas for improvement, and engagement with the material. 

For me, it is always important to provide constructive feedback as well as positive one to my students. 

I gathered my favourite five practical, online-friendly methods that can help ESL teachers accurately size up student learning and drive their development.

Formative assessments through quizzes and polls

Formative assessments play a crucial role in monitoring student learning during a course. 

Online quizzes and polls are interactive ways to test comprehension and vocabulary while also maintaining student engagement. 

Platforms like Kahoot!, Quizlet, Bamboozle and Google Forms allow teachers to create quizzes with multimedia elements, such as images or audio, which are especially helpful in an ESL context. 

These tools can provide instant feedback, allowing students to see correct answers and areas they need to review. 

Also, they are pretty fun to create.
