• Resumen

  • This paper describes a method to build self‐reflection into students’ learning of language at tertiary level. At the beginning of the course, students are given a graded chart summarizing different language skills. They are asked to assess their own abilities for each of these skills. The results of this experiment reveal that students get a heightened sense of their progress over a semester and acquire a critical attitude towards their learning in the target language. Self‐reflection thus becomes an integral component of a learner‐based approach to language teaching.
