of the technique, which provides a single score. However, they

acknowledge that this approach is user-friendly and requires less

time. Nevertheless, while evaluating written work, the holistic scale

allows raters to peruse each written composition efficiently and

then make judgments based on a rating scale or assessment rubric

that delineates the criteria for assessment. Accordingly, Hyland

(2003) measurement reliability enhancement can be achieved by

including multiple raters for each publication.

In contrast, analytical scoring is an alternative approach for

assigning scores to students' written compositions. According to

Hyland (2003, p.229), analytical scoring is a method used to

evaluate writing by having readers analyze a text based on a

predetermined set of criteria considered essential for effective

writing. Additionally, according to Fox and Cheng (2017),

analytical scoring makes it easier for raters to pinpoint particular

performance characteristics divided into categories on the rating

scale.

Hyland (2003) demonstrates that analytic scoring assists

students in identifying their learning progression and implementing

targeted improvements. It also enables teachers to provide feedback

and scaffolding to support students' efforts to continue learning how

to write a decent text. Despite its merits, the method is criticized for

its ability to influence the ratings of others. Analytical scoring is
