        abstract = {Assessment is an important part of English language learning, as it helps measure students’ progress and understanding. This study examines the impact of formative and summative assessments on English language learning and student engagement. The research was conducted with 20 students from Zilla Parishad Primary government school in a rural area. Students were divided into two groups: Group A (Formative Assessment) and Group B (Summative Assessment).
The results showed that students in the Formative Assessment Group performed better, compared to the Summative Assessment Group. This suggests that formative assessment is more effective in enhancing language proficiency and engagement. The study highlights the importance of using continuous feedback and interactive assessments to support students’ learning. These findings can help educators choose better assessment methods to improve English language education, especially in rural schools.},
