Self-assessment in Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

The method of self-assessment can be effectively applied in foreign language teaching. It ensures the diversity of checking and evaluating by raising interest among students, increasing their responsibility towards their own performance, concentrating attention on the mistakes rather than on the grade. If applied correctly self-assessment provides students with an opportunity to review and revise the material, to correct the mistakes independently with the help of dictionaries and textbooks thereby enhancing the knowledge and adding more information.
