Abstract: This article presents a hybrid approach to assessing students’ foreign language proficiency in a cyber–physical educational environment. It focuses on the advantages of the integrated assessment of student knowledge by considering the impact of automatic assessment, learners’ independent work, and their achievements to date. An assessment approach is described using the mathematical theory of fuzzy functions, which are employed to ensure the fair evaluation of students. The largest possible number of students whose reevaluation of test results will not affect the overall performance of the student group is automatically determined. The study also models the assessment process in the cyber–physical educational environment through the formal semantics of calculus of context-aware ambients (CCAs).
