This paper presents the analysis of CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) assessment practices in order to understand them as a set of actions committed to formative assessment, comparing them to theoretical propositions. It makes use of a qualitative approach as a methodology to develop the research, while resorting to experience reports as the typology adopted. It analyses its formative practices from a theoretical perspective and draws significant learning possibilities and contributions/suggestions about the feasibility of formative assessment in the classroom, highlighting the positive consequences its application may have on student learning.

Keywords : Teaching; Formative Assessment; Teaching-Learning Process; Teacher Training.
