This article examines the development of self-assessment competence in B2-level English 
language learners, emphasizing its importance in achieving effective foreign language 
acquisition. Self-assessment, a critical component of autonomous learning, enables students 
to evaluate their skills and identify areas for improvement, fostering deeper engagement and 
sustained progress. The study explores specific pedagogical strategies aimed at enhancing 
learners' self-assessment abilities, particularly in speaking and writing competencies. Using 
English language materials, it highlights practical methods and activities to integrate self
assessment into the classroom. The findings underscore the value of equipping B2 learners 
with the tools to critically evaluate their language proficiency, thereby promoting greater 
learner autonomy and communicative competence.
