Abstract
The Common European Framework of Reference (2001) positions the student in the centre of the learning process and favours responsibility and autonomy as its core elements. Self-assessment is regarded as an essential part of this process since it establishes the guidelines to be followed and the objectives that have already been achieved. However, although it is undeniably accepted that self-assessment techniques should be used in the classroom, it is not stressed enough and neglected as the aim of future research. The present paper aims to analyse the use of different self-assessment techniques in an actual English class (pre-intermediate or B1 level according to the can-do statements of the Common European Framework) and their real usefulness in the learning process of the twenty-five university students who took part in this study.
