The most typical form of writing assessment appearing in current research and practice concentrates on direct assessment. Considerations for assessing such writing can be broadly divided into two categories: tasks (what the writer will respond to) and scoring (how the writing will be evaluated). From a theoretical perspective, scholars have long been interested in questions such as the effects of different task characteristics on writing test performance and how raters from different backgrounds evaluate writing samples. From a practical perspective, considerations of task and scoring provide guidance for teachers and administrators to design their own assessments or adopt commercially available tests.
