| Abstract | The paper describes the system of rater comments used in an American College Testing (ACT) Program English language test designed for use with Japanese secondary school students learning English as a foreign language. The writing portion of the test consists of two short essays, each scored by two native speakers of North American English, using a six-point rubric. In addition to giving the essay points, the first reader of each essay may select four comments from a standardized list concerning the essay's fluency and development, organization, vocabulary, and language elements. Mechanics and spelling are not addressed. Raters are trained to look for meaning in the work and to see past mechanical problems in the writing. Rater comments are to provide (1) praise and (2) suggestions for improvement. Examples of comments in each area are included. Advantages of this approach include the time saved by teachers in providing a comment by number, and the ease with which standardized comments can be understood by students. Contains one reference.
