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.

A-> 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.

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? √

B->After doing the self-assessment, Kitty is making a plan for studying English. Read her plan. Do you think she has some good ideas?

I often speak English well in class, but I still need to practise 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.


C-> Now complete the self-assessment form in Part A yourself. Then write your own plan for studying English.
