About this book

This book provides teachers, instructors, scholars, and administrators with a practical guide to implement portfolio assessment of writing in their work contexts. Unlike most existing volumes, which underscore theory building, it describes and discusses several key issues concerning how portfolio assessment can be carried out in authentic classrooms with a focus on its processes, reflective components, task types and design, scoring methods and actionable recommendations.

Reviews

“This book can serve as an introductory text and a practical manual to build readers’ foundation in the design and implementation of writing portfolio assessment. … This book can be recommended to anyone in applied linguistics who wants to conduct research, expand knowledge, or explore practical issues in writing portfolio assessment.” (Arif Bakla, Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 43 (1), 2020)
