| Summary: | None of the linguistic evaluations currently in use seems appropriate for long-term considerations and for assessing literacy-related skills required in academic contexts.
This article presents a diagnostic instrument which focuses on both the grammatical correctness of written language production and on genre-specific writing styles required in the class-room. The basic goals are (1) to measure the linguistic skills to date and/or learning progress; (2) to state which literacy-related skills students need in order to perform well; (3) to explore how written texts can be measured in a test; and (4) to find out how students can be supported in order to achieve these skills. |
