Since the last two decades, training students in self-assessment has gained increasing currency and has been investigated in a considerable number of studies. In line with this background, the present study aimed at investigating the potential of self-assessment initiatives in bringing about change in Iranian EFL students’ self- assessment ability and attitudes (anxiety, confidence and motivation) towards studying English. One hundred students participated in the study in a pre-test post-test control group design. The results indicated a significant effect of self- assessment initiatives in enhancing the students’ willingness and ability to engage in self-assessment and in creating positive outlooks toward English language learning. The implications of self-assessment in ELT are discussed.
