Assessing Writing Abilities

Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1998
Like so many other aspects of language analysis, assessing the writing abilities of non-native English speakers (NNES) becomes an increasingly complex issue as one explores both its root meaning and its current uses; this complexity can be traced, in part, to the recognition that writing abilities develop in interaction with other language skills.

Scaling Writing Ability

Written Communication, 2013
This analysis of 83 scoring rubrics and grade definitions from writing programs at U.S. public research universities captures the current state of the struggle to define and measure specific writing traits, and it enables an induction of the underlying theoretical construct of “academic writing” present at these writing programs. Findings suggest that

The case of a left-handed female patient is described who presented serious problems in learning how to write during childhood, particularly in relation to directionality and letter sequence.

Morphological Knowledge and Early Writing Ability

Language and Speech, 1988
This study assessed the morphological knowledge of kindergarteners and first graders in relation to their early writing ability.

Tradeoff of write-ability and erase-ability in overwrite

2015 IEEE Magnetics Conference (INTERMAG), 2015
In magnetic recording, overwrite (OVW) measures how well the old data is suppressed by the new data [1]. In perpendicular recording, OVW is typically gauged by overwriting a high-frequency data pattern (e.g. 2T) with a low-frequency data pattern (e.g. 13T), and the OVW is called Reverse OVW (ROVW) [2].

Improving Media Writing with Ability Groups

Journalism & Mass Communication Educator, 2000
Instructors sometimes mutter the following phrase after they've graded a stack of papers from a media writing class: "Students can either write, or they can't." Does this mean that only "good" student writers can do well in a media writing class? And does it mean that we, as instructors, can have little effect on improving the ability of the "not ...

Morphological Knowledge and Writing Ability

1991
The development of morphological knowledge and its relationship to writing ability will be examined in this chapter. Such an examination is warranted because, in spelling, the child needs to understand the internal structure of words. Specifically, the child needs to understand that words have a morphophonemic structure, that is, that phonemic elements

The Correlation between pre-writing activity and writing ability

DONAM OHMUNHAK, 2019
이 글에서는 대학 글쓰기 교육에서 쓰기 전 활동에 대한 학습자의 이해도와 글쓰기 능력의 상관성을 탐색하였다. 쓰기 전 활동이란 완성된 형태의 글쓰기 이전에 이루어지는 일체의 활동으로 주제 잡기, 자료 찾기, 개요 쓰기 등이 이에 해당한다. 구성주의 학습 이론에 힘입어 오늘날의 글쓰기 교육은 과정 중심의 접근법이 일반화되고 있다. 글쓰기 교육을 과정 중심으로 접근한다는 것은 쓰기의 결과보다는 과정 자체의 중요성을 강조한다는 의미이다. 이러한 문제의식을 바탕으로 이 글에서는 다양한 수업 활동에 대한 학습자 개개인의 평가 자료를 바탕으로 학습자들의 쓰기 전 활동에 대한 인식 수준을 파악하고, 이를 다시 그들의 글쓰기 결과물과 ...
