Speaking Skill Development Through Self –Assessment at Elementary Level

The innovation was focused on improving English speaking skills by using self-assessment with a checklist as an instrument (Appendix 1). The innovation was implemented completely online via Zoom due to the politics given in the school and following ethical considerations. To establish communication with the participants, the teacher created a slide presentation so the students could see pictures, videos and some keywords used in the innovation (Appendix 2). Hence, the project began on May 3rd with second grade students after the respective ethical considerations and permission from their representatives. The participants’ level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), was Pre-A1. The innovation was applied to seven participants of second grade as volunteers for four weeks, two and half hours per week, giving a total of ten synchronous hours. Participants work with three topics “Fruits, shapes and colors” that contain vocabulary related to daily interactions with the environment; such us likes and dislikes, identifying the fruit and its color by watching the picture, matching the pictures with the correct quantity, and action verbs for describing the preparation of a fruit salad. The lesson plan (See Appendix 3) incorporated activities that develop speaking practice focused on self-assessment. In addition, all the utterances were recorded by the teacher.
