Criteria-referenced self-assessment in CSL writing classes

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the implementation of criteria-referenced self-assessment in students’ learning in argumentative writing especially for students learning Chinese as a second language (CSL). Participants were 4 year-8 students in an international school in Hong Kong. Follow-up interview was also conducted to investigate students’ perspectives of self-assessment. Findings include the changes of students’ writing performance in argumentative essays based on the comparison of pre-test and post-test in the aspects of the 3 metafunctions of language: ideational, interpersonal and textual defined by M.A.K. Halliday. The result suggests that integrating criteria-referenced self-assessment in CSL writing classes can improve students’ writing performance and enhance their understanding of marking criteria for argumentative essay.

本文透過準實驗性研究的設計,以香港一所國際學校4位8年級學生為研究對象,了解透過量表自評在中文第二語言寫作教學中的實施,是否能夠提升學生在議論文寫作的表現。本文根據系統功能語言學對於語言元功能的分類,分析學生前後測寫作的表現。結果發現,經過一個月的量表自評實驗,學生的寫作表現在語言的概念功能、人際功能以及語篇功能三個方面均產生變化。此外,透過實驗後的跟進訪談發現,量表自評使得學生對於議論文寫作的評估標準有了更清楚的認識,同時也能夠將這樣的認識體現在對於議論文寫作的評斷當中。 / published_or_final_version / Education / Master / Master of Education
