As society evolves, the need for teaching evaluation systems that meet developmental demands has emerged as a critical focus of contemporary educational reform. This study investigates the current landscape of English language teaching evaluation in primary and secondary education through the lens of core competencies. By integrating the essence of core competencies with digital innovation, we analyze the guiding principles of a digitalized English teaching evaluation system. We propose a novel framework that centers on core competencies, leveraging digital technologies to facilitate comprehensive and dynamic assessment of students’ learning trajectories and outcomes. This framework employs a diversified array of evaluation agents and methods, ensuring a holistic evaluation process that aligns with the demands of modern education. Our study aims to provide a robust, forward-looking model for English language education in the digital age.
