I'd like to keept you uptodate with my work this week: What I did was I handed out two pieces of paper with some self assessment worksheets for levels A1 and A2.

I asked the students to click on the corresponding items according to whether they thought they had reached every different ability or not and then, they had to write a summary analysing their results.

Since I delivered these sheets among students from the bilingual gruopus, their anaylisis showed that they - in many aspects - are overconfident. It means that almost all of them think they are over A1 level.

Needless to say that they claim they are better with receptive skills such as reading or listening and not so with productive skills live having a conversarion, writing or speaking.

Many of them say that they are having trouble with their spelling, vocabulary, day to day expressions, grammar and things like that. Surprisingly enough they make spelling mistakes in Spanish when they try to explain what their abilities are.

There is one thing I am sure of: they feel comfortable and self confident when it comes to studying English. That is, in my opinion, highly positive.
