END-OF-ESP COURSE SELF-ASSESSMENT

Writing (a summary): After ESP course I am able to write a summary quite well. I know the rules, what it is one of the most important thing in order to write a good summary. The most confusing it is a grammar and spelling. But I think my writing skills became better.

Writing ESP vocabulary tests: My tests evaluations now there are better than in the beginning of the course. I think that I learned to separate the most important information and so it is easier to reach good results.

Writing class dictations: At first these tasks were the most comptlicated for me. Because I can't concentrate on listening and writing at the same time. But after some exercises I noticed that I performe much better than at the beginning. I realised that exercising helped me a lot. Now I am able to write all the sentences which are dictated.

Listening comprehension in class: Listening tasks results depends on many factors: the accent of the person who is talking, my concentration on the task, the type of a listening task. The easiest task it is ''true or false'', but sometimes another type tasks also are not very hard.

Listening to peers' power point presentations: Everything depends on the presentation theme and the accent of the presentor. If the presentation looks interesting and presentor speaks clearly than it is easy to listen and understand. But if the presentor it is using many complicated or unknown words it is hard to listen and give the opinion after the presentation.

Making power point presentations: I think that my last presentation was the best of all which I have done before. I am making some pronunciation mistakes but my talking skills now there are better than at the beginning of the course.

Speaking on ESP themes in class: I think that my vocabulary is expanded, but nevertheless sometimes while speaking I forget the words and I can't express my opinion as I wish.

To sum up, I think that my writing, listening and speaking skills became much better. I think this course helps me in the future while learning Psychology.
