Authors : Kherraz Mokhtaria .

Abstract

Self-assessment which has at last grounded itself as an effective strategy in EFL teaching/learning context requires more attention and care. In this vein, the present paper attempts to highlight assessment as a general issue then specifies to self-assessment as a specific concern. For data collection tools, two instruments have been used: a questionnaire was addressed to first year master students in the Computer Science department at Dr Moulay Tahar university-Saida and a semi-structured interview was conducted with three English teachers from different departments. The gathered data has been analysed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results revealed that though self-assessment is adopted as a strategy in teaching, teachers need training to be able to implement self-assessment effectively
