Assessment should help students know their own progress， develop self-confidence， reflect on and adjust their own study process， thereby ensuring the continuous development of their language ability. Teachers should help students carry out self-assessment.

During formal assessment teachers should permit students to select assessment methods that suit their characteristics or strengths. If students get unsatisfactory results during a certain test they should be allowed to negotiate with the teacher to retake the test after sufficient preparation.

Thirdly， English teachers should take the following aspects as the elements of their self-reflection： language knowledge， language skill， blackboard design and writing， computer aided instruction ability， classroom management， lesson plan， the love of education， students-oriented mode and so on.
3.2 Assessing the Learner

The latter three are not easily tested only through summative assessment. （Ellis， 1994） Therefore， in order to judge students’ English proficiency in a holistic and scientific way， students’ portfolio system is used to keep assessment records of each student， they can easily see their own progress， and since portfolios feature the best of student’s work， the assessment procedures become highly motivating for students.
Secondly， self-assessment is a good way for students to evaluate their own learning process under the instruction of some specific principles. （Liu jianchao
