Self-assessment

This is my self–assessment for the last semester of ESP.

ESP vocabulary tests

Vocabulary tests have always been one of the hardest parts. It is really hard for me to remember all definitions in the right way. But now I have some experience doing that so during this semester it was easier than before.

Writing summaries

During this semester I tried to put more effort into writing summaries. I hope it will bring me some good results and I will manage to right it well during the exam. I have got a lot of remarks from my teacher so I will try to remember what style, words and structure I should use.

Online exercises – multiple choice and filling in blanks

Online exercises are quite questionable because sometimes they are easy and sometimes really hard. Maybe it depends on the topic. I would evaluate my work with this task neither good, nor bad.

Moodle tests

I think moodle tests are the hardest task for me because I am not sure how accurate I should be and my memory is not so good to remember everything that I need for filling the moodle tests. But I manage to do it and I think my marks during this semester are better than before.

Speaking impromptu

I like speaking impromptu because I can share my opinion, hear others opinion, discuss and improve my speaking sills. I feel more self-confident now when I am speaking impromptu than I was during the first year.

Traditional listening to cassettes (in class) and online listening in classroom

I do not feel any need to separate these two kinds of listening because I feel equally good about both of them. I manage to do this task quite well and I hope that I will not fail during my exam.

Power Point Presentation


Power Point Presentation is the task which I like the most. I am not sure if I got better in preparing presentations but it is a good, useful task and I hope that I will use my knowledge about that in the future

Short talks (ready-made speech)


I have not got the possibility to give any of my short talks in classroom because of different reasons but I have prepared them and I think that they are better than before, more informative.

I hope that all these tasks and the material I have learned will be useful during my exam and especially in the future during my psychology studies and work.
