Sinopsis

The first edition of Edward M. White's Teaching and Assessing Writing was called "required reading for the profession" when it was published in 1985. Now, in this thoroughly revised and completely reorganized second edition, White offers the latest theoretical and practical materials that instructors in English and across the disciplines will need in order to help students build strong writing skills. White draws especially on new knowledge about assessment to offer effective methods of evaluation and feedback. And he shows how the use of assessment by teachers can greatly assist the process of learning to write.
In addition to outlining recent advances in teaching and assessing writing, White explains how teachers can design better writing assignments, help students write more effectively, and respond more constructively to student writing. White includes a full discussion of the three most popular methods of assessing writing - multiple-choice tests, essay tests, and writing portfolios. And he covers new material, such as guidance on portfolio assessment; theories of reading and how they affect teachers' response to writing; program evaluation; and the development of writing assignments as a central aspect of teaching.
