Self-assessment is where learners assess their language proficiency, rather than a teacher doing it. 

Learners are much better at giving each other accurate and sensitive feedback than we suspect, and this activity gives them the opportunity to demonstrate it.

Are teachers able to assess themselves accurately? Do they have the right assessment tools to do so? This research paper investigates these questions and takes a closer look at the British Council’s Self Assessment Tool (SAT) for teachers of English.

On this page you will find a series of short activities to use in your classroom to support Assessment for learning, specifically focusing on ways of collecting information, the strategic use of questioning, giving feedback and introducing peer and self-assessment.

This project substantiated the importance of eliciting learner voices and contextualising the CEFR in local contexts.

There are various ways of measuring learners' progress. Whichever method you choose, you should take time out to counsel your learners.
