While there seems to be enough empirical evidence to substantiate the claim that language learners have the ability to evaluate their own performance, many researchers still feel that self-assessments are rarely as reliable or valid as standard test results or teachers’ estimates of their students’ linguistic competence. This skepticism may well be justified, because a large number of selfassessments are based almost entirely on appraisal questionnaires and the use of such instruments without extensive training or preparation is bound to produce incorrect evaluations. In the DLIFLC study, however, the experimenter used ’conventional’ examinations both for testing purposes and for selfassessment purposes. This method yielded interesting results. It also had limitations, but it generally looked promising
