The book is for those who teach and assess second language writing in several different contexts: the IEP, the developmental writing classroom, and the sheltered composition classroom. In addition, teachers who experience a mixed population or teach cross-cultural composition will find the book a valuable resource. Other books have thoroughly covered the theoretical aspects of writing assessment, but none have focused as heavily as this book does on pragmatic classroom aspects of writing assessment. Further, no book to date has included an in-depth examination of the machine scoring of writing and its effects on second language writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrusan not only makes a compelling case for becoming knowledgeable about L2 writing assessment but offers the means to do so. Her highly accessible, thought-provoking presentation of the conceptual and practical dimensions of writing assessment, both for the classroom and on a larger scale, promises to engage readers who have previously found the technical detail of other works on assessment off-putting, as well as those who have had no previous exposure to the study of assessment at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Crusan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472034197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472034192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press ELT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Deborah Crusan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685600022783,"sku":"9780472034192","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_259905ac-75eb-494b-9b54-97b663df4e16.jpg?v=1741726207","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assessment-in-the-second-language-deborah-crusan-9780472034192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
