HOW TO ASSESS WRITING, VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR IN ESL CLASSROOM
Abstrak
Annotation: Writing skills is both challenging and essential skills to acquire in
English language. Writing is a crucial skill for personal and social advancement, as
well as a nation's economic success, requiring proficiency in both first and second
languages (Eckes et al, 2016). I will give an essay to write my students to boost their
writing skills and prepare real IELTS exam. While doing this task, students should
know how to use lexical resources and grammar rules. Writing essay is considered as
an extended response task. Students will write an essay according to the topic which is
about “Healthy and Unhealthy food and lifestyle”. The essay will be graded based on
its grammatical structures, word use, coherence, and organization. Writing assessment,
like language testing, is a synthesis of ideas, concepts, and methodologies from applied
linguistics and psychometrics (Eckes et al, 2016).
