Enhancing English Speaking Skills through Self-Assessment-Based Action Research
Abstract This paper presents an action research study conducted in an English communicative course at a Chilean university. This investigation aimed to improve university students' speaking skills through the self-assessment methodology. The intervention was held during four weeks, in which participants were exposed to English through task-based lessons that required their systematic self-assessment to develop their speaking skills. With the use of an analytic rubric to measure whether or not there was improvement in pre and post oral interviews, a learning journal and a focus group interview, findings showed that there was a positive change in their speaking performances, and learners appreciated this methodology as a way to improve their academic results. Key words: self-assessment; awareness; speaking; English language; action research ----- Mejoramiento de las habilidades de expresion oral en ingles mediante la investigacion-accion sustentada en la autoevaluacion. Resumen Este articulo presenta una investigacion-accion realizada en un curso de ingles comunicativo en una universidad chilena.
