My ESP classes are coming to the end, so I want to do some self-assessment.
Writing: For me, writing a summary isn’t a hard work. To paraphrase a text is easy, main problem I face with a grammar. I do lots of mistakes, but it is same for me and in other languages. How to deal with this problem I don’t know, I tried a few strategies, but it didn’t help.
Speaking: Main problem I’m too shy and too stressful when I speak. I’m trying to stay calm as long as I can, but often it doesn't help. I can come out with a good speech on a paper, but I often just forget what I have written. Second my big problem, knowing three different languages doesn’t help me.
Listening to: Here is the field there I am the best at. Listening to online material was the easiest for me. It was little harder with a cassettes, background noises there disturbing, and sometimes accent of the speaker.
ESP vocabulary: Here I faced my biggest problems. The main reason why was that I haven’t studied well. So, I the main reason why I was performing was my laziness. And now I will give few comments on a moodle. They weren’t hard, but as last term I wasn’t very happy about them, this term isn’t an exception. Almost in every test were one or two questions, which were incorrect. Sometimes there could be a few different answers, but test allows only one, in other cases, by theory and logic, answer must contain three words, but moodle test shortened them to one. Idea of having tests like in moodle, is very good, students can better learn main ideas and theories, but there must be invested more effort in those tests.
