Self-assessment
During my English language lessons I did a lot of
activities. These were tests on ESP vocabulary definitions, Moodle tests,
online exercises, listening exercises, short talks, Power Point Presentation
and speaking impromptu in class. So, I would like to evaluate the benefit for
me of these activities.
Tests on ESP
vocabulary definitions. It was difficult for me, because there were a lot
of definitions, which I didn‘t know in my native language. Also, almost each
time I didn‘t have enough time for preparation, but despite this fact it was
interesting for me anyway, because now I know many new words about psychology.
Moodle tests. I
think that these tests were very useful, because I stored new words in my
vocabulary, but also, there is a negative side, that those tests for me were
boring, because of the required time.
Online exercises.
These exercises were similar to Moodle tests, but it was interesting and wasn‘t
so difficult. I think this is so, because the whole group was doing exercises. But
nevertheless, sometimes it was difficult to find correct answers.
Listening exercises.
I did a lot of listening exercises during my english lessons and I can say that
sometimes it was very complicated, but sometimes effortless. In my opinion, it
was good, because we educated our hearing and maybe in the future it will be
easier to understand foreigners.
Short talks. It
was probably the easiest activity for me. I was enjoying it, because I improved
my english skills such as vocabulary and pronunciation. Also I learned new
information about various things such as psychology of laughter or psychology
of luck.
Power Point
Presentation. This exercise required a lot of time, because I had to know
everything about this theme which I have chosen. But despite this fact, I can say
that these themes were were interesting, and useful, because I improved my
speaking skills and I learned a lot of new facts about stress.
Impromptu in class.
It was the most difficult activity for me, because I thought that my speaking
skills are not so good and also sometimes I didn‘t have enough time to think
what I want to say. Besides this, I can‘t overcome fear talking in front
of audience.
All in all, I think that many activities of these were
useful for my studies, and I could say that I have improved my english skills
and knowledge now. I hope it will help for me during exam.
