Hi everyone, Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've released a set of self-assessment questionnaires for your academic students to complete at the beginning of a course and at the end. These questionnaires help students to become more independent learners. See worksheet example.

What are self-assessment questionnaires?
|
|
|
Self-assessment questionnaires are a way to encourage students to evaluate and assess their own understanding and learning. Self-assessment encourages students to reflect on their individual ability in certain areas and look at ways on how they can improve these. Overall, it can empower students to take more control of their own learning and become autonomous, independent learners.
|
|
|
|
|
These specific self-assessment questionnaires are based around the four key skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and each one focuses on individual elements in each of these key skills. In each questionnaire, the students evaluate their confidence in using these individual elements such as being able to use a variety of note-taking strategies, identifying the main points in text, conducting research using university library databases and so on.
|
|
|
|
|
Each self-assessment questionnaire is designed around the basic syllabus of an Academic English course, so it's a great idea to introduce these questionnaires at the beginning of the course and then again at the end of the course so the students can measure what they have learned and how far they have progressed. Presenting the questionnaires early on in a course will also aid the students to focus their independent study around individual elements they are not confident in.
