Abstract

In terms of foreign language learning, the role of vocabulary mastery is crucial for understanding course materials. However, some students still struggle with mastering English vocabulary, so formative assessment is implemented to explore students’ mastery of highfrequency words (HFWs). Thus, the aim of this research is to investigate the implementation and challenges of employing formative assessment in the learning process for students’ English vocabulary mastery on HFWs. The researcher used the descriptive case study method by conducting a semi-structured interview and observation to collect the data. The research data were obtained at a high school in Pekalongan over a period of two weeks. One class XII in this high school was used as the object of observation, and the English teacher and four students were used as interview participants. Using thematic analysis, the results of the study showed that variations in formative assessment and providing feedback needed to be considered in the implementation of formative assessment for HFW mastery because all two were continuous in the success of formative assessment. Meanwhile, there were several challenges that arose when carrying out the implementation, such as time constraints, differences in student abilities, and student engagement, each of which is interrelated.
