这是一本介绍写作评价的书，是“剑桥英语教师丛书”之一。
作者Sara Cllshing Weigle是第二语言写作评价的专家，具有丰富的写作教学和评价研究的经验，她关于二语/外语语言评价的博士论文曾于1996年获得杰出博士论文托福奖。
本书最大的特点就是作者能够把专业性很强的技术性知识解读为我国普通外语教师、即便是没有受过评价方面专业训练的教师，都能够理解的东西，将有关写作评价的理论和评价的技术性知识用简单明了的形式表达了出来。这与作者扎实的专业功底、丰富的写作教学经验和对二语/外语教育的深入理解是分不开的。
作者在本书中对写作评价理论和相关研究的讨论既有语言学、心理语言学的广度又有测试研究的深度，同时对与写作评价相关的从设计、开发到使用的一系列实践问题都进行了充分的讨论，有坚实的理论和研究基础，对我国广大外语教师和外语评价工作者都具有重要的参考价值。
