Greetings folks!
Lately, I made a self assessment module for my students. I made it simple and easy to use keeping in mind that my students should be apprehensive of the four introductory chops of a language. They're Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. It's just an experimental design. At first I shared it with my students and then I thought if there's anyone who's floundering with it or perhaps it can work well with your kids. You can play the part of the educator then.
Not only learning English you can use this module for any course, training programme, short courses etc. Most importantly I wanted my scholars to write their tried literacy and I know jotting can make them more attentive to whatever they're doing.
Imagine you are learning English. The first step in any self assessment module is to set clear learning goals. I suppose it'll be a better idea to follow a self assessment module to pump your learning. However, you can get your instructor's help and precious commentary on your progress, if you have support from your educator.
First of all, you have to ask yourself what do you want to achieve with your English language skills? Is it fluency in conversation, proficiency in writing, or a deep understanding of English literature? Set a damn goal.
You must have to set a clear learning goal and then you have to consider what you already know. This approach is called the Top Down approach which helps a learner with the previous knowledge and experience. Ask yourself, Can you hold a basic conversation? Can you write a simple email? Can you understand English news articles? By assessing your current knowledge, you get a baseline.
Let's say you're excellent in conversational English but struggling with complex grammar rules. A self-assessment module will pinpoint this gap in your knowledge. If you follow a module you will have a clear idea about your next attempt.
Once you've identified your knowledge gaps, it's time to create a learning plan. Here, you decide how you'll fill those gaps. For grammar, you might plan to take online courses, use language learning apps, or work with a tutor. I think within a couple of weeks you will find the difference and most surprisingly you can take a glimpse of your improvement black and white. Isn’t it noteworthy?
Learning isn't complete until you apply your knowledge in real-life situations. In case you are learning English, this means you have to participate in conversations, write essays, or even give presentations. These are the normal indicators. You may need other parameters for specific fields.
Take time to reflect on your learning journey. What worked well? What could be improved? Adjust your learning plan accordingly. If you're now proficient in grammar, you might want to focus on expanding your vocabulary.
And the next after that. Whether you're learning English, mastering a musical instrument, or honing your coding skills, self-assessment modules can be your guiding light. They help you set goals, track progress, and become a more effective and efficient learner. Remember, learning is a journey, and self-assessment modules are your trusted companions on this exciting path of discovery.
