"The Diagnosis of Writing in a Second or Foreign Language" is a comprehensive book that fills a gap in the understanding of diagnosing writing in second or foreign language (SFL) education. The book presents a diagnostic cycle framework that breaks down the diagnostic process into five stages: defining what is to be diagnosed, operationalizing it, conducting diagnostic assessment, designing feedback, and implementing appropriate action. It explores various aspects of writing diagnosis, including writing development, cognitive processes, task characteristics, evaluation methods, and feedback. While the book offers valuable contributions to the field, it falls short in providing a comprehensive framework for assessment design and analysis, as well as guidance for implementing effective classroom diagnosis. Overall, it is recommended for language education professionals, teachers, researchers, and anyone interested in SFL writing. [Extracted from the article] |
