END-OF-ESP COURSE SELF-ASSESMENT



• Writing a summary.
At writing summaries I’ve made some spelling and grammar mistakes, but even though, I think I improved my skills at it and performed quite good.

• Writing ESP vocabulary tests
I think I performed badly in ESP vocabulary tests, because I didn’t have much time to prepare for them so I used my knowledge from previous subjects about those terms.

• Writing class dictations
When writing class dictations I made some spelling mistakes, because it was a bit difficult to write so fast, when I needed to think a bit about how the unknown word should be spelled, but there was just a few of them, so in my opinion I performed well at it.

• Listening comprehension in class
In my opinion, I performed very good at listening comprehension in class, because I found it easy to understand what the speaker is saying, even if he/she had an accent. So I think I improved my listening skills.

• Making PowerPoint presentation
It was quite difficult for me to make a good presentation, because I didn’t have much time to make it and I’ve tried to make it as fast as I could, so it had some minuses. However, I think that I performed well at this task.

• Listening to peers’ PowerPoint presentations
I performed well at listening to others’ presentations, because I could understand everything that presenters were saying. And when they were using some specific terms, I could understand them knowing the context. However, it was a bit difficult to listen to some presentations, because they weren’t very interesting to me.

• Speaking on ESP themes in class
In my opinion, I performed very badly in speaking on ESP themes, because most of the times I didn’t know what to say and I just didn’t have energy to discuss on it (because our lectures were at 8 am :))
