Abstract

This paper presents part of the results of a qualitative study on self-assessment and English language in high-school, which compares the students’ self-assigned grades and the ones from tests developed by the teacher, based on the concept of performance-oriented self-assessment. The self-assigned grades and the teacher’s grades on an oral task based on criteria previously discussed are compared using the statistical method T-test for paired samples. The results show the difference between the two grades is statistically significant and raise questions and outlines for the use of self-assessment in class.
