評(píng)估寫作是一種國際性的參考期刊，它提供了一個(gè)關(guān)于評(píng)估書面語言的觀點(diǎn)、研究和實(shí)踐的論壇。評(píng)估寫作發(fā)表文章、書評(píng)、會(huì)議報(bào)告和學(xué)術(shù)交流，涉及各種寫作評(píng)估，包括傳統(tǒng)的（直接的和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的）寫作測(cè)試、替代性績效評(píng)估（如組合）、工作場(chǎng)所抽樣和課堂評(píng)估。該期刊關(guān)注寫作評(píng)估過程的各個(gè)階段，包括需求評(píng)估、評(píng)估創(chuàng)建、實(shí)施和驗(yàn)證以及測(cè)試開發(fā)；其目的是將寫作評(píng)估的所有觀點(diǎn)作為過程、產(chǎn)品和政治（考生和評(píng)分者；測(cè)試開發(fā)人員和機(jī)構(gòu)；教育行政部門；以及政治動(dòng)機(jī)）。該期刊對(duì)寫作評(píng)價(jià)理論和實(shí)踐中關(guān)鍵問題的評(píng)論文章很感興趣。評(píng)估寫作包括國際主義，并試圖反映世界各地的教師、研究人員和寫作評(píng)估專家的擔(dān)憂，無論他們的語言背景如何。文章以英語發(fā)表，通常與英語寫作評(píng)估有關(guān)，但將考慮使用英語以外的其他語言進(jìn)行寫作評(píng)估的英語文章。雖然評(píng)估寫作經(jīng)常發(fā)表關(guān)于作文、跨課程寫作和TESOL（向其他語言使用者教授英語）領(lǐng)域的寫作評(píng)估的文章，但它歡迎在這些領(lǐng)域之外的專業(yè)和學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域發(fā)表關(guān)于寫作評(píng)估的文章。該雜志的范圍很廣，涵蓋了各個(gè)年齡層、大規(guī)模（國際、國家和國家）以及課堂、教育和非教育機(jī)構(gòu)環(huán)境、寫作和方案評(píng)估、寫作和批判性識(shí)字以及技術(shù)在寫作評(píng)估中的作用等領(lǐng)域的所有工作。通過這一學(xué)術(shù)交流，評(píng)估寫作有助于在所有上下文中評(píng)估寫作的優(yōu)秀發(fā)展，并在這方面促進(jìn)寫作的教學(xué)和欣賞。

Assessing Writing is a refereed international journal providing a forum for ideas, research and practice on the assessment of written language. Assessing Writing publishes articles, book reviews, conference reports, and academic exchanges concerning writing assessments of all kinds, including traditional ('direct' and standardised forms of) testing of writing, alternative performance assessments (such as portfolios), workplace sampling and classroom assessment. The journal focuses on all stages of the writing assessment process, including needs evaluation, assessment creation, implementation, and validation, and test development; it aims to value all perspectives on writing assessment as process, product and politics (test takers and raters; test developers and agencies; educational administrations; and political motivations). The journal is interested in review essays of key issues in the theory and practice of writing assessment.Assessing Writing embraces internationalism and will attempt to reflect the concerns of teachers, researchers and writing assessment specialists around the world, whatever their linguistic background. Articles are published in English and normally relate to the assessment of English language writing, but articles in English about the assessment of writing in languages other than English will be considered. While Assessing Writing frequently publishes articles about the assessment of writing in the fields of composition, writing across the curriculum, and TESOL (the teaching of English to speakers of other languages), it welcomes articles about the assessment of writing in professional and academic areas outside these fields.The scope of the journal is wide, and embraces all work in the field at all age levels, in large-scale (international, national and state) as well as classroom, educational and non-educational institutional contexts, writing and programme evaluation, writing and critical literacy, and the role of technology in the assessment of writing. Through this scholarly exchange, Assessing Writing contributes to the development of excellence in the assessment of writing in all contexts, and, in so doing, to the teaching and appreciation of writing.
