As lecturers of English language for many years in Saudi Arabia, it is observed that, in Saudi universities, teachers are not consistent with formative assessment and have not been encouraged to implement formative assessment as a tool for increasing students’ achievement levels. This study aims to investigate the teachers’ attitude regarding the using formative assessment in teaching English as a foreign language. It shows in brief how instructors can design activities in teaching and evaluating students through the Bloom’s taxonomy model in literature review. The study adopted descriptive and analytical methods. The researchers used a survey that distributed in the second semester (2021) to 64 participants in Saudi higher education to examine teachers' attitudes regarding utilizing formative assessment. The results showed that the teachers have positive attitudes toward using formative assessment in classroom.
