Self-Assessment to Improve Speaking Skill in A2 Students

The innovation consisted in training students to self-assess in order to improve their speaking skill. The participants are all students of 2nd BGU whose English level is A2. This innovation took place in high school in Manabí, located in the central zone of the city. The innovation was developed in three weeks with five teaching hours each as part of a normal learning unit where all the skills are studied, and their lessons were all presential. Specifically, the students pretended to be part of a travel agency. They chose a touristic city they wanted to talk about and searched information of different places like attractions and restaurants in that city. Each student impersonated someone from the travel agency and presented the city they chose and provided all the information to an audience. During three weeks, participants were provided of the knowledge about the categories in the rubric and checklist they had to work with. Also, they learned the grammar topics from the unit that were simple present tense and simple past tense, and the vocabulary of the unit. The innovation was planned using an innovative instructional design for the unit (Appendix A). All of the activities presented in the backward design were classified into acquisition, meaning making or transfer, and they were developed to use all the content to fulfill the objective. In order to reinforce these activities, the teacher used games, rounds and chants. The innovation was developed in three weeks divided in three days each week to have a total of one hundred twenty minutes per week. Each session or class the students had different activities with different purposes. In the lesson plan, activities for self-assessment, homework, reading, writing can be found.
