How College Faculty Evaluate Second Language Writing.
Kim, Anna Charr
Research and Teaching in Developmental Education, v14 n1 p35-48 Fall 1997
Discusses outcomes of a study that suggest ESL instructors focus on grammar and syntax in student writing, whereas English faculty members focus more on content and style. Because they are less familiar with different rhetorical styles, English faculty evaluate ESL compositions lower when they do not correspond to a more western form. (29 citations) (VWC)
