| Abstract |
|
This study examined students’ perceptions of the portfolio assessment in an academic writing course for ESL graduate students. Students in the course wrote four major assignments, each in a different genre, and they were required to provide drafts of the assignments. Students were also asked to write self-reflective essays in which they kept records of their writing and revision processes and could set goals for future development. Students’ self-reflective essays were analyzed to understand students’ revision processes. Students were also asked to complete a questionnaire that investigated their past experiences with portfolios. The results show that students were able to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. However, the analysis revealed an overreliance on peer reviews and instructor comments. The results of the questionnaire show that students’ perceptions about portfolio assessment were generally positive with some recommendations about better guidance and instruction. |
