GARCIA SANZ, Emma. Assessment of the own progress in oral communication skills vs. the importance given to self-assessment criteria. Leng. [online]. 2020, vol.48, n.1, pp.38-59. ISSN 0120-3479.  https://doi.org/10.25100/lenguaje.v48i1.6571.

Self-assessment has become an essential part of the teaching-learning process in foreign language classrooms. The aim of this article is to analyse the similarities and differences between student self-assessments and their own opinions about the assessment criteria provided in an oral communication skills course of Spanish as foreign language. This article also reflects on the findings and their implications for teaching and subsequent research. Among others, the results show the necessity of teaching self-assessment, the importance of the language used and the reflection undertaken by the students. Moreover, the importance given to the qualitative aspects of spoken language use proposed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages does not always correspond to the descriptors which have already been learnt or which are still to be learnt.

Palabras clave : self-assessment; Spanish as foreign language; oral communication skills; empirical research.
