Self-assessment
To do self-assessment means to think about your studies in order to find out your strengths and weaknesses. This can help you make a plan to improve the way you study.
Kitty is completing a self-assessment form to find out how she is doing with her English study. Read her results in the table below.
A
always often sometimes almost never
Do you speak English in class √
Can you remember new words easily √
Do you make spelling mistakes √
Can you learn new grammar rules well √
Can you answer listening questions correctly √
Do you get good results in tests √
After doing the self-assessment, Kitty is making a plan for studying English. Read her plan. Do you think she has some good ideas
B
I often speak English well in class, but I still need to practice more.
I need to work harder to learn new words and grammar rules. I plan to copy the new words in my notebook and read them every morning. I plan to remember five new words every day. Grammar rules are difficult, so I will keep an English diary and try to use the new grammar rules I have learnt. I plan to watch English TV programmes every weekend in order to improve my listening skills.
GOOD JOB
