| A research was conducted to test the use of the holistic scoring method, the analytic scoring method and the primary trait scoring method to assess summary writing. Fifteen TESL students in UPSI and one experienced ESL teacher were chosen as subjects in this research to assess twenty samples of summary writing written by a class of Form Four ESL students. All fifteen TESL students were gathered in three separate seminars and workshops during which they assessed the summary writing samples. During these seminars and workshops five TESL students used the holistic scoring method; five of them used the analytic scoring method; and five used the primary trait scoring method. The experienced ESL teacher assessed the same samples of summary writing individually, using her experience as an English SPM examiner. The scores that all these teachers gave to the sumrriary writing samples were correlated to find the relationship. TheTESL students' salient features of assessment were recorded. The result shows that there is no significant difference between the scores given by all these subjects towards the summary writing samples, even though they used different scoring methods to assess the same writing samples. It was also found that all the three scoring methods could be used to assess summary writing samples for classroom improvement as well as for preparing students to take the English SPM examination |
