Abstract:
This research aimed to compare second-language (L2) students ratings of their peers essays on multiple criteria with those of their teachers under different assessment conditions. The teachers each rated one essay on five criteria twice, under high-stakes and low-stakes assessment conditions. Multifaceted Rasch Analysis and correlation analyses were conducted to compare rater severity and consistency across rater groups, rating criteria and assessment conditions. The results revealed that there was more variation in students ratings than the teachers across assessment conditions. Students were significantly more severe on language use than were teachers. The findings of this study have implications for planning and implementing peer assessment in the L2 writing classroom as well as for future research.
