Self Assessment


Here is the last semester of ESP course which is almost over. Still have some weeks until session and ESP course exam. I am worry about English exam. I will analyze my achievement in this course during this semester.

In this semester like in 2 previous semesters I had to read modules from Robert Feldman book Understanding psychology. This semester I was not talking about those modules because teacher gave us other tasks which were more interesting, but I had to write ESP vocabulary tests which included modules which I had to read from Robert Feldman book Understanding psychology.Some ESP vocabulary test I have written well, but other tests I have written worst in the class. I am really  worried about it, because I think that  now the definitions which I should written, but the mark shows different thing .I think that I should learn ESP vocabulary if I want to pass English exam. In this practice, the Moodle tests should help me. It was not new task in this semester. Every module has Moodle test. I did these tasks at home and I could look through the module if I want to find out the correct answer. I think that I was good in doing those tests.


Third, I want to write about my performance on summary writing. It was not a new task. I think that I write summaries well, but I can be much better in this task, because one of ESP exam part is summary writing


Fourth, I want to mention that I think there were not enough short talks and impromptu speeches, at least for me. Short talk is one of English exam part. I think it will be better if I could have a possibility to speak in class on my exam themes so I could get more speaking skills


Also I should write few words about Power Point Presentation. It was not a new task. In this semester my theme was Prejudice and Discrimination. I think that I presented my theme not so good, worse than other students. My problem was not because I was not ready to speak about that theme but while I spoke I had made many grammar mistakes and I had been very nervous during the presentation.


Moreover in this semester my English teacher gave to class many listening tasks. Traditional listening in class was not a new task. Sometimes I have done it well sometimes I have done it not so well. I think I should do listening task not only in class if I want to pass my exam, but I don’t have enough time to practice listening. In this semester teacher gave online listening in class from BBC and other websites. I think it helped me but not enough. That’s a pity.


Now I want to mention the newest tasks in this semester It is online exercises and multiple choices and fill in the blanks tasks which were online. Online exercise for example was to find synonyms or finish the sentence. All these exercises were online. Multiple chose and fill in the blank was online in online learning center. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073370193/student_view0/  In this website I found everything what I need for prepare for English class


In conclusion, I would like to write that I could be better in English language if I had more practice in all this points. Also I am worried about my English, because I will have to pass ESP exam.
