Reader Comprehension and Holistic Assessment of Second Language Writing Proficiency.
Janopoulos, Michael
Written Communication, v6 n2 p218-37 Apr 1989
Investigates experienced university English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) composition instructors' text comprehension when engaged in holistic evaluation of non-native-speakers' (NNS) texts. Concludes that time constraints or use of preestablished rating parameters, do not affect comprehension, and that holistic raters attend to meaning when evaluating NNS writing proficiency. (MM)
