| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When a particular rubric is shared by different users, understanding and interpretation of the rubric may vary depending on the users, which could lead to reliability or validity problems. One of the solutions is to supplement a rubric with well-articulated interpretations and relevant writing samples. We have conducted the studies to determine such interpretations and writing samples supplementing an original L2 (English) essay/paragraph writing rubric, which the research group have developed for classroom use in Japanese higher education. On the basis of the results, we have prepared the interpretations and writing samples. We have also implemented a teaching plan where students use the rubric for peer assessment as well as self-assessment. The questionnaire to the students showed that the rubric helped them identify aspects needing improvement.
