Abstract

This action research aims at exploring the contribution of self-assessment checklists on improving oral presentations of two participants that were taking an initial-level English as a second language course at a technician professional institute in Talcahuano, Chile. The intervention was carried out in four weekly sessions in which the participants were trained on the different criteria to assess their oral presentations. The participants self-assessed their work with a checklist and performed a second presentation based on their first self-assessment. Analytic rubrics were also used as an external assessment to compare results from the checklists. At the end of the intervention, a semi-structured interview was conducted to obtain the participants’ perceptions about the process. Findings reveal that by developing autonomy, language awareness, and self-reflective skills, the use of the self-assessment checklist supported the participants not only to improve their oral presentation in overall aspects, mainly in fluency and pronunciation aspects, but also to make positive changes in their confidence and expectations about their performance.

探索自我评估清单对改进口头陈述的贡献
这项行动研究的目的是探讨自我评价清单对改进两名在智利塔尔卡瓦诺技术人员专业学院学习初级英语作为第二语言课程的学员的口头陈述所作的贡献。干预是在四个星期的会议中进行的,参与者接受了不同标准的培训,以评估他们的口头陈述。参与者用一张清单自我评估他们的工作,并在第一次自我评估的基础上进行第二次演示。分析规则也被用作比较检查表结果的外部评估。在干预结束时,进行了半结构化访谈,以获得参与者对该过程的看法。研究结果表明,通过培养自主性、语言意识和自我反思技能,自我评估表的使用不仅支持参与者在整体上提高口头陈述,主要是在流利性和发音方面,而且还使他们对自己表现的信心和期望发生了积极的变化。
