SELF-ASSESSMENT OF SUCCESS IN LEARNING ESP

WRITING A SUMMARY.I found difficulties in summaries writing. It was rather hard for me. When I was writing my first analytical summary, I spent a lot of time and wrote too much. But now I am trying to write more concrete. It’s a pity, but I make some mistakes in spelling and grammar and I must concentrate on it.

WRITING COMPREHENSION TESTS ON MODULES IN PSYCHOLOGY. First of all, I would like to say that it was more difficult than I thought before. It takes a lot of time to learn Psychology ESP. Especially definitions are rather complicated. But I have made my system how easy to learn it. I am trying to repeat every new word and definition and to tell them for my colleagues before taking the test.

MAKING POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS.This task was very interesting for me because I had a chance to use my creative power. I have added some funny pictures and of course a music, which helps easily to understand and remember the information. I tried to speak in set terms using short sentences. It’s a pity, but I haven’t written references very well because I have forgotten to write publisher and date.

IMPROMPTU SPEAKING IN CLASS. Using psychological definition is more difficult to speak. My language and pronunciation are better when I am talking with my foreign friends. In order to discuss with colleagues about psychology, I must have a wide vocabulary and good English skills. So, I agree that this task is rather difficult for me.

PERFORMANCE IN LISTENING PRACTICE.My performance on this task hasn't changed. I found difficulties in concentrating on sounds coming from the tape-recorder. I am a good dreamer, but not a good listener. Fortunately, every time I try to leave my dreams at home and to concentrate.

WRITING CONTRIBUTIONS TO E-PORTFOLIO (WEBLOG). Contribution writing is related with my general English knowledge. It takes a lot of time, but this type of writing is rather interesting. Writing contribution gives a chance to spread my knowledge about psychology. I hope I’m rather good on this task.
