Self-assessment ranking scale:

During the course, it is natural to gradually move from 1 to 3. Remember to go over your ranking
regularly. Ideally, the more 3s you get, the better prepared you will be.
1 = I am becoming familiar with it.
2 = I am getting better at it, but I still need help.
3 = I can do it right without help.
* Remember that when you participate in speaking tasks, you must always be ready to elaborate your
answers with supporting ideas and ask follow-up questions.
