This unit of self assessment was very interesting because we learned the advantages and disadvantages of using self assessment in the classroom. It was very interesting and challenging to prepare a self assessment instrument for students to evaluate themselves, but as the authors said, the problem is that sometimes teachers don’t find coherence between the student’s self evaluation and their own evaluation of the student.
We really liked the idea of using a diary and self assessment; we think they give students a voice because students get the opportunity to tell the teacher how they feel about their progress and whether their expectations get fulfilled.
We totally agree that self assessment at the beginning of a course helps the teacher to get to know his/her students’ problem areas and their overall opinion about language learning/their language experience while learner diaries and self assessment of learning styles show the teacher and the students where the learning process can be improved.
