Более того, те, кто обладает меньшим объемом знаний, демонстрируют тенденцию к более высокой оценке собственных компетенций (так называемый «эффект Даннинга-Крюгера» (Dunning-Kruger effect)). Поскольку большая часть исследований в этом отношении сконцентрирована на представителях западных стран, в нашем исследовании поставлена цель выяснить, существует ли вышеуказанное несоответствие среди русскоязычных обучающихся, посредством двух экспериментов: в 1-ом сравнивались заявленный в резюме уровень знания английского языка с уровнем, продемонстрированным кандидатами во время интервью в рекрутинговом агентстве; во 2-м эксперименте посредством специально разработанной анкеты нами были выявлены данные в отношении ожидаемых студентами-выпускниками вуза результатов теста, которые также сравнивались с полученными реальными оценками. Сопоставление полученной в том и другом случае информации методом сравнительного анализа дало возможность обнаружить наличие завышенной самооценки уровня знания английского языка. В итоге нами был сделан вывод, что и для русскоязычных обучающихся характерна переоценка своих знаний английского языка, при этом студенты и выпускники, обладающие низким уровнем иноязычных компетенций, оценивают себя гораздо выше по сравнению с другими участниками эксперимента, говорящими по-английски лучше. И теоретическая, и практическая значимость исследования такого рода заключается в том, что в процессе обучения английскому языку данная ситуация в обязательном порядке должна учитываться теми, кто осуществляет процесс обучения, сопровождаясь соответствующего рода коррекцией подобной оценки. В статье также предложены способы минимизации вышеуказанной завышенной оценки.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>It has been noted by foreign researchers that many foreign language learners mastering this language at universities tend to overestimate their proficiency, supposing they know it better than it really is. Moreover, those possessing less knowledge estimate their competences higher than those whose level is quite high (the so called Dunning-Kruger effect). As the majority of the research regarding overestimation was concentrated on the learners from western countries, in contrast to this, our study was aimed at establishing whether the above given gap exists among Russian leaners with the help of two experiments: Experiment 1 compared the claimed level of the English language proficiency with the level demonstrated by the candidates during the job interview at the recruitment agency. In Experiment 2, with the help of a specifically devised questionnaire, we obtained the data on the final tests results expected by the university undergraduates, with these results later compared to the actual outcomes of the test. Comparative analysis of the information received throughout both experiments gave us the opportunity to establish certain degree of overestimation of the experiment participants’ English language knowledge level. As a result, we concluded that such overestimation is inherent to Russian learners, with those students and graduates having better knowledge of English assessing themselves much higher than those ones who spoke English more proficiently. Both theoretical and practical value of this study lies in the fact that such overestimation should be definitely taken into consideration in the process of the English language acquisition by those who teach this language, trying to adjust learners’ proficiency level, bringing it closer to the actual level. The article also suggests certain ways of minimizing this kind of overestimation.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>оптимистический уклон</kwd><kwd>самооценка</kwd><kwd>эффект Даннинга-Крюгера</kwd><kwd>уровень владения иностранным языком</kwd><kwd>обратная связь со стороны преподавателя</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>optimistic bias</kwd><kwd>Dunning-Kruger effect</kwd><kwd>self-assessment</kwd><kwd>language proficiency</kwd><kwd>teacher feedback</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Boud D., Falchikov N.
