In this episode of The Languages Pedagogy Podcast, we unpack the delicate balance between formative and summative assessment in language teaching. Discover how feedback, timing, and authenticity can transform the way learners grow—and how to design evaluations that inspire rather than intimidate. From Finnish classrooms to global test cultures, we explore why the most effective teachers measure progress not with numbers, but with understanding.
