Abstract:



Manal Saleh Alghannam
Qassim University

This study concerns a neglected aspect of L2 English writing research:
teachers' processes when rating essays written by their own students
for class practice, not exams, with no imposed rating/assessment
scheme/rubric. It draws on writing assessment process research
literature, although most work has been done on scoring exam writing,
using a set scoring rubric, where all raters rate the same essays.
Eight research questions were answered from data gathered from six
teachers, with a wide range of relevant training, but all teaching UK
university pre-sessional or equivalent classes. Instruments used were
general interviews, think aloud reports while rating their own
students' essays, and follow up immediate retrospective interviews.
Qualitative coding was undertaken using NVivo.
Teachers reported similar perceptions of ‘good writing’, and all used
a form of analytic rating, achieved in three broad stages, drawing in
part on information beyond that just in the essay text.  However, they
varied in what criteria they prioritized when actually rating essays,
and in the scales, they used to summarize evaluations, ranging from
IELTS scores to evaluative adjectives. Most claimed to use personal
criteria, and showed concern for the consequential pedagogical value
of their rating more than achieving a test-like reliable score.
