The Fundamentals Of Assessing Efl Writing
Authors : Drid Touria .
Abstract
Given the significance of writing ability in academic and professional contexts, assessing this skill has become one of the widely discussed and researched issues in language education. In general terms, it is observed that assessing writing proficiency, which constitutes an integral part of language instruction, is at times said to be randomly performed owing to the instructors’ insufficiency of theoretical grounding, inadequate training in this activity or to contextual constraints. The case of assessing writing in English as a foreign language (EFL) is no exception. Hence, EFL writing assessment scholars highlight the need for promoting assessment literacy among its practitioners. The present paper discusses the fundamentals of EFL writing assessment. Its goal is to provide a resource that writing instructors can draw on to enhance their knowledge, skills and practice of this pedagogical task. The paper is also meant to assist in equipping trainees with the requisite knowledge base on the field of assessment.
