WRITING COMPETENCY TEST BLUE PRINT

Introduction

The following writing test is developed based upon a theory developed by Lloyd Davis and Susan McKay (1996) in their book entitled Structures and Strategies. In Introduction to Academic Writing. According to them, a descriptive text is defined as the representation of sensory experiences in language. It is generally indicated with seven operational indicators, namely: (1) title, (2) topic sentence, (3) perspective (personal or impersonal), (4) selection (focus), (5) order (beginning, middle and end), (6) grammar (vocabulary and structure), and (7) mechanics (punctuation and capitalization). While, a narrative text is defined as the representation of time relationships in language. It is generally indicated with eight operational indicators, namely: (1) title, (2) topic sentence, (3) viewpoint, (4) tempo (chronology), (4) character, (5) action, (7) grammar (vocabulary and structure), and (8) mechanics (punctuation and capitalization). Blue Print The writing competency tests are developed following the theory as advocated by Davis and McKay (1996) mentioned above. No 1 Text Types Descriptive Indicators a. Title b. Topic sentence c.
