Assessing Writing

I think writing is a very important skill because learners can use grammar and vocabulary in it, also they can show how good they are using them. Similarly, it is important to mention that writing is a skill than will enrich student’s knowledge as well as grammatical structures.

The challenge with it is that the majority of the students have problems writing in their mother tongue, so as it is inferred students at the beginning would have many problems. The thing here is to be persistent.

So, now in terms of assessment I think washback is very useful because it allows the students to rewrite what they did and realize the mistakes they are making in order to do a better job and improve their speaking skills.
