Abstract
Self-assessment is not only a matter of accuracy but also facilitation of developing students’ learning ability. The present paper aims to provide a review of the literature on using self-assessment in L2 speaking learning. This critical review focuses on self-assessment as facilitation of self-regulated learning, a useful pedagogical tool, and a motivation promoter. After reviewing several empirical studies, it can be concluded that L2 learners’ self-assessment can successfully develop students’ second language learning ability. Besides, recording L2 learners’ oral production an building an immersive language context can successfully improve L2 learners’ self-assessment ability on their speaking performance.
