DEVELOPING RUBRICS FOR ASSESSING LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL LEARNERS

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of “rubric” in language testing and assessment and to highlight the parts of a rubric through various dimensions. It sets forth objectives and types of the rubric used. As the paper will illustrate, language testing and assessment in SLA demands many facets to take the learners to the “successful learner point”. Being aware of the effective use of rubrics reflects the robustness of this critical assessment process.
