Self-Assessment to Increase the Students’ Writing Through a Blog Site

Abstract

English is one of the most used languages to communicate around the world. But, as with all languages, different skills must be learned, like Writing, because it is part of writing communication. Developing this ability is a challenge for students because, in public high schools, students' writing skills are weak and deficient; note in mind that the majority of students do not learn English in elementary schools, and in high schools, they are not exposed to English beyond the classroom; therefore, students do not practice it regularly. This action research includes collecting quantitative and qualitative data and focuses on exploring the effect of applying self-assessment on students' English writing skills. Durga, (2018, as cited in Menéndez, 2022), said, "Writing can be perceived not only as a means to communicate but also as a means to learn a second language. As a result, students demand efficient writing abilities suit their academic and occupational needs." p. 2).
