Peer & Self Assessment
WHAT: Peer assessment is the process of students providing feedback to each other on a specific task, usually a skill-using activity. Self-assessment is when a student evaluates their own performance on a task.
WHY: Both peer and self-assessment are used as ways for students to be more aware of their language learning and progress. Assessing your own progress can lead to self-correction and personal goal-setting. Peer assessment provides a way for students to see how others perform tasks and may help them see different strategies for performing tasks themselves.
HOW: Peer and self-assessment can be done in many ways, including written reflections or comments, checklists, rating scales, and oral feedback. In peer assessment, it's important to make sure students are not evaluating each other on how "good" their language is - this should be left up to the teacher. Students can check to make sure all parts are included, or that each criteria is covered, and teachers will assess the quality.
