Assessment in the Second Language Writing Classroom is a teacher
and prospective teacher-friendly book, uncomplicated by the
language of statistics. 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 focusedas 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. Crusan 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.
