This article provides a response to Deborah Crusan’s paper on ungrading and reflects on the existing potentials and challenges associated with using this concept. The article also offers a reconciliatory perspective that attempts to bring together the competing writing assessment paradigms and to take into consideration contextual limitations and opportunities.

The present study explored the development of writing performance and discourse organization in Chinese as a second language (L2) writing, focusing on the effects of genre and learning context. Tracking an L2 Chinese learner’s written production in two genres (i.e., narrative and argumentative) across four learning contexts (i.e., pre-study abroad, study abroad, post-study abroad, and delayed post-study abroad) longitudinally over four years, this study revealed that holistic ratings and discourse organizational devices showed distinct patterns in different genres and across learning contexts. Narrative essays generally received lower ratings than argumentative essays. Ratings of narrative essays remained relatively stable across four learning contexts, whereas those of argumentative essays displayed an omega-shaped pattern over the four-year period. Among six discourse organizational devices, subordinate clauses, textual connectives, and grammatical metaphors were used more in argumentative essays, but coordinate clauses and topic-prominent constructions were used more in narrative essays. The six discourse organizational devices exhibited discrete developmental trends throughout the four years of learning. This study provides a deeper understanding of writing performance and discourse organization in L2 Chinese development.

Deborah Crusan
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.

In response to Crusan’s focus paper on the history, nuances, and implications of alternative assessment for second language writing and writers, I present an overview of multilingual student perceptions of contract grading across a University Writing Program. Both affordances and potential challenges with this method of assessment are discussed.
