Self-assessment has gained much attention in recent years to build students autonomy in learning, in this case to improve their English writing skill. Unfortunately, self - assessment is rarely used in Indonesia whereas this kind of assignment is quite important to build the students’ autonomy, as we know that the less - autonomy of students is one of problems Teachers often face. What is Students’ perception about self - assessment? What are advantages and disadvantages of self - assessment based on their perception? Have they used self - assessment in English writing skill?
