Аннотация

This study explores the role of self-assessment and peer-assessment in language learning, emphasizing their significance in formative and summative evaluation processes. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research examines various assessment techniques, including informal and formal methods, formative feedback, student-teacher conferences, dialog journals, peer evaluations, and portfolio assessments. The findings highlight the benefits of integrating learner-centered assessment strategies to enhance language proficiency, foster metacognitive awareness, and reduce teacher workload. The study underscores the importance of feedback in improving learning outcomes and suggests that involving students in the assessment process leads to more accurate evaluations of their communicative abilities. The research contributes to the discourse on effective language assessment practices by advocating for a balanced approach that combines traditional testing with dynamic, participatory evaluation methods.
