Research on the Current Situation and the Construction of a Diversified Assessment System for College English Teaching in Private Universities Based on Positive Psychology

Abstract

This study addresses the existing problems in the college English teaching assessment system in private universities and attempts to construct a diversified assessment system suitable for college English teaching in private universities based on the principles of positive psychology. Through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, the shortcomings of the existing assessment system were analyzed. It was found that the current assessment methods relied too much on test scores and ignored the learning process and personalized development of students, making it challenging to stimulate students’ intrinsic learning motivation. Based on the research findings, this study proposes a diversified assessment system that integrates the principles of positive psychology, which is designed from three dimensions: evaluation subject, evaluation content and evaluation method, aiming to comprehensively assess students’ language proficiency, stimulate learning motivation, promote self-directed learning, and cultivate positive psychological traits.
