Abstract---In 2020 educational institutions in many countries had to
implement online learning due to quarantine restrictions caused by
the coronavirus pandemic. The research aims to study the
peculiarities of the distance learning technologies used by Ukrainian
foreign languages teachers for formative and summative assessment
and their impact on students. At the end of 2020, a survey about
online resources used for creating different types of tasks for foreign
language classes in Ukraine was conducted by the authors of the
study, and the main characteristics of the most popular online
resources were analyzed. According to the survey, the majority of
Ukrainian teachers use such platforms to create tasks for assessment:
Kahoot, Google Forms, Quizlet, Classtime, Quizizz, Socrative,
Quizalize, Gimkit, Blooket, Liveworksheets, and Wizerme. Some of
these resources provide a strong element of competition that makes
them perfect for formative assessment, while the others better suit
summative assessment as they have a clear interface and don’t
include distracting elements. While designing online tasks for the
assessment, teachers should also take into consideration the
possibilities online resources provide to reduce their students’ anxiety
and stress caused by performing test tasks.
Keywords---distance learning technologies, formative assessment,
interactive worksheets, online platforms, online test, stress reduction,
student-centered teaching.
