Quality assessment devices as curriculum components are important to

organize the assessment process because the devices determine the validity and

reliability of the assessment outcomes. Therefore, the devices, such as a test and a

scoring rubric, should meet the principle of the assessment. In fact, the syllabus for

writing courses is not supplied with the standard assessment devices, which causes

the assessment process to be ineffective in administrating the test and analyzing the

students' learning outcomes. The writer believes the scoring rubric is essential since

the teacher can use it to identify students learning profiles.

It had been discussed previously that GBA helps students create texts to meet

communicative purposes, so teachers should pay attention to GBA in writing

instruction. Also, GBA promotes students’ critical thinking as each text applies a

different generic structure, grammar pattern, and word choice. However, the

existing writing instruction implemented is not mediated by the GBA, while the

course objectives emphasize text-based instruction. As a result, students find it

challenging to compose a comprehensive text of different genres.

It is undeniable that advanced IT is very much needed in the educational

sector. In some cases, technological advances help teachers organize teaching-

learning processes to conduct instruction effectively. The lack of maximum

feedback in the classroom should be managed by using technology. However, due

to teachers' lack of IT skills, they do not take advantage of the merit of IT.

C. Delimitation of the Problems

Based on the study background and problem identifications, the study only

focuses on developing the multipurpose assessment model to support the teachers
