Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technologies in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom has altered how teachers collect evidence, provide feedback, and support learners during instruction. Yet many technology-mediated assessments still reproduce the logic of traditional testing: they digitize tasks without changing their pedagogical purpose. This article argues for a reconceptualization of assessment as a learning process rather than a measurement event. Drawing on formative assessment, sociocultural mediation, self-regulated learning, and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), it proposes a Digital Assessment for Learning (DAfL) model built around continuous evidence gathering, timely multimodal feedback, learner reflection, adaptive scaffolding, and ethical learning analytics. The article offers tables, figures, planning forms, and classroom-oriented procedures that show how digital tools can make assessment more dialogic, formative, and instructionally useful. It concludes that technology has instructional value only when it helps teachers and learners interpret evidence and act on it.
