This activity was developed to guide learners through self-reflection and goal-setting after engaging in a proficiency-based summative assessment at the end of a unit of study.

Learning Objective: Learners will be able to:

• Identify strengths as revealed through a recent assessment.
• Identify weaknesses as revealed through a recent assessment.
• Set goals for themselves for upcoming assessments.

Mode(s): Presentational Speaking, Presentational Writing, Interpretive Reading, Interpretive Listening, Interpersonal Communication

Materials: Instructor-evaluated assessment, Self-Reflection Handout

Procedure:

1. Review general feedback regarding global trends (strengths and weaknesses or general misunderstandings) that you noticed in the work produced by your learners on their most recent assessment.
2. Discuss the importance of setting goals with your learners.
3. Allow learners to review their assessments using the Self-Reflection Handout. The learners may find it beneficial to work in teams as they complete the handout.
4. Review the learners’ answers to the Self-Reflection Handout to provide feedback. Have the learners save the handouts in a secure location so that they may continue to modify and reference their goals as learning progresses.

Notes:

These reflection activities may take place in the L1 or the L2 depending on learner needs.
