COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT IN EFL WRITING

Collaborative Assessment in EFL Writing is an essential resource for educators, researchers, and students in the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This book provides an in-depth analysis of collaborative assessment methods specifically tailored to improving Writing skills among EFL learners. In an era where traditional assessment methods often fall short in addressing diverse learning needs, this volume explores the transformative potential of collaborative approaches. It highlights how collaboration between students, as well as between students and instructors, can lead to more effective and engaging learning experiences.

The book is structured to offer both theoretical insights and practical applications. It begins with a comprehensive overview of collaborative assessment theories, including the principles of formative assessment, peer feedback, and self-assessment. Building on this foundation, the book introduces a variety of collaborative assessment models and strategies, such as group writing activities, collaborative rubrics, and feedback sessions.

Each chapter is supported by case studies from a range of EFL settings, illustrating how these collaborative techniques have been successfully implemented and the outcomes they have produced. These real-world examples offer readers a clear picture of how collaborative assessment can be adapted to different classroom environments and learner needs.
