Abstract
Ungrading, an assessment approach transcending traditional grading methods, has surged in recognition partly due to recognition of disparities in educational systems during COVID. These injustices challenged people of color and English learners. While advocates highlight ungrading’s potential to enhance equity and student engagement, critics underline concerns about power dynamics, increased time commitments, and communication challenges.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Second Language Writing is devoted to publishing theoretically grounded reports of research and discussions that represent a significant contribution to current understandings of central issues in second and foreign language writing and writing instruction. Some areas of interest are personal characteristics and attitudes of L2 writers, L2 writers'' composing processes, features of L2 writers'' texts, readers'' responses to L2 writing, assessment/evaluation of L2 writing, contexts (cultural, social, political, institutional) for L2 writing, and any other topic clearly relevant to L2 writing theory, research, or instruction.
