Popis: Among the categories on the ESL/EFL writing scale, organization specifically has often been criticized for being vague, as its descriptors are represented frequently by abstract adjectives or adverbs, namely, indicators of the degree of quality. This inevitably leads to a heavy dependency on the judgment of the raters on scores. Moreover, the organizational skill in L2 writing covers multiple aspects, such as logical sequencing, topic development, and connective devices, where a different discourse pattern than in L1 is sometimes required. In addition, descriptors are represented in different wordings depending on the rating scale. These issues potentially make writing assessment in terms of organization more complex and difficult. This study qualitatively analyzes descriptors of rhetorical and ideational aspects in seven representative writing rating scales, both holistic and of multiple traits, which are considered suitable for argumentative writing by Barkaoui (2007). The descriptors in the rating scales were investigated in terms of the rater strategies for judgment making based on the categorization of Cumming, Kantor, and Powers (2001, 2002). The study suggests where the ambiguity in the organization writing subcategory lies and helps reconceptualize the components of EFL/ESL rhetorical and ideational writing skills.
