In this talk, I will present two inter-related studies that my students and I have conducted with in-service and pre-service English language teachers in a primary and a secondary school in Hong Kong. Both studies aimed at achieving an in-depth understanding of the teachers’ adoption of formative assessment strategies in English writing classes and to answer two research questions, namely, how did the teachers transform FA principles into concrete classroom practices and activities? And what are the factors facilitating and/or constraining their practices? Both studies provide insights into teachers’ actual FA practices in L2 writing classrooms and revealed both potentials and problems associated with this approach, which could be of interests to both practicing and aspiring English teachers.
