1.2 Purpose of the Research
A large amount of studies have been done to explore effects of application of rubric-based assessment in  the  writing  teaching  both  abroad  and  at  home.  However,  there  are  a  small  number  of  studies  on  the empirical  study  about  the  effects  of  rubric-based  assessment.  Therefore,  the  application  of  rubric-based assessment in writing teaching in the present study has three specific purposes. Firstly, this study aims to explore  whether  application  of  rubric-based  assessment  can  improve  students’  writing  performance. Secondly,  this  study  aims  to  find  out  which  aspect  (content,  organization,  language  use,  vocabulary  and mechanics) has been improved most after the application of rubric-based assessment. Thirdly, the current study  was  conducted  to  explore  students’  attitudes  towards  the  application  of  rubric-based  assessment  in writing by analyzing some questionnaires. The findings of the current study might provide college English teachers with some suggestions including methods of assessment and on which aspects they should focus on when they assess or evaluate students’ compositions.

And it has become an effective  assessment  tool  in  assessing  language  teaching.  The  study  of  rubrics  abroad  develops  with  the development  of  performance  assessment  and  authentic  assessment.  Rubrics  have  become  popular  with teachers  and  researchers  abroad  because  of  clear  assessment  standards  and  detailed  descriptions  of students’ work. Heidi Goodrich Andrade (1996), one of the famous experts of rubrics, defined rubric as an assessment tool  that  contained  a  set  of  assessment  criteria  and  expected  learning  objectives  which  depict  students’ performance from the本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
