Computerised self-evaluation of performance in professional English

Research limitations – the investigated samples contain a limited number of respondents, which might raise a question of reliability of the findings. The statistical computation of the reliability of the obtained responses will prove whether the data are reliable and may be extended beyond the studied samples. The hypothesis for the research: student performance might depend on their specialisation. Practical implications – the respondents were asked to indicate the degree of difficulty in performing various online tasks on the Likert’s scale ranging from “very difficult” to “very easy”. The analysis of the responses by means of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software proves that despite the limited number of respondents, the results may be extended beyond the studied samples. It means that self-evaluation of computerised activities by students studying professional English is recommended at the university level. Originality/Value – the value of this study encompasses the statistical processing of the responses, which should prove whether the findings are reliable or not.
