eng	Self-assessment as a Tool for Improving Learner’s Experience of Studying English	There are tests and exams which are aimed at determining the language level reached at the end of a period of learning. The tests are created by experts who have no involvement in the direct teaching of the test takers. These experts, or those trained and standardised by them, assess and evaluate the work of test takers. There are tests and exams prepared and assessed by the teachers who spend regular time with their students in order to support and guide them through the learning process. Those teachers usually know their students well and the students trust the teacher’s expertise when it comes to the outcome of the test. However, the current education system does not provide explicit opportunities for the students to take part in the evaluation of their own language acquisition. Students are seldom introduced to the language levels as described in the CEFR and they seldom practice self-reflection and self-assessment, although those can be useful tools in the classroom. Some self-assessment techniques will be introduced in this short talk.	self-assessment; tests; exams; teaching English; learning English; self-assessment techniques
