Language Teaching And Learning

In the history of language teaching and learning, writing in general and the assessment of writing in particular have always been the topic of controversy. Listening to the voice of students with regard to the process of writing and its assessment is of crucial importance. Doing so, the present study intended to explore Iranian EFL students’ perceptions of criteria for assessing students’ written performance. To this aim, a convenient sample of students (N = 30) from different classes and institutes in Darab, Iran, was recruited to participate in the study. All of the participants were interviewed to determine their perceptions of criteria for writing assessment. Results indicated that based on students’ perceptions, grammar and spelling are the important factors in the assessment of a piece of writing, respectively. They also mentioned that the ability to write can be assessed through composition writing and their teachers should utilise their own perceptions rather than utilising a standard rubric.

Language Teaching And Learning

Abstract: In the field of language teaching and learning the theories of chaos and complexity may well be applicable to where various studies and experimentations are growing offshoots in different parts of India. The world of pedagogy falls within the span of the obstinate human desire to excel, to make things significantly superior than before. To realize and harmonize with the needs and culture of an ever-changing world, Man is constantly endeavoring to achieve greater efficacy by capturing the everelusive ultimate ideal in all conceivable spheres. However, in the field of second language teaching and learning process searching for innovative approaches, methods, techniques and pedagogical tools is in a continuous state of fluctuation. The deep investigation and scrutiny of the history of English Language Teaching (ELT) reveals a challenging need to clear the conceptual cobwebs and terminological bedbugs prevalent in the amalgamations, harmonies and discordances between layers of theoretical principles, pedagogic practices and political ideologies (Kumaravadivelu, 1994).
