Summary

Introduction

This paper explores how self-regulated learning ( SRL) is enhanced with self-assessment and teacher feedback in foreign language courses in Finnish general upper secondary education. Teachers are expected to provide multifaceted feedback to their students in every course and teach self-assessment skills These ambitious goals are manifested in the upcoming core curriculum (FNBE, 2019). Feedback and self-assessment are fundamental elements of SRL (Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006), and SRL is a vital skill in today’s world (Bjork et al, 2013; European Council, 2018). It is the ultimate goal of education (Bandura, 1993), and teachers play an important role when students become self-regulated learners (van der Schaaf et al, 2013)
