This article focuses on the importance and process of assessing writing skills as a vital part of language teaching and learning. Writing is not only a means of communication but also a reflection of a learner’s linguistic, cognitive, and creative abilities. Therefore, accurate and fair assessment of writing is essential to understand students’ strengths and weaknesses. The paper examines various approaches to assessing writing, including analytic, holistic, and trait-based methods. It also reviews the use of assessment rubrics and criteria that help teachers maintain objectivity and consistency during evaluation. Furthermore, the article discusses the role of formative and summative assessment in improving learners’ writing proficiency. Special attention is given to feedback techniques, peer assessment, and self-assessment as tools that motivate learners to reflect on their progress and develop critical thinking. The study also highlights the challenges teachers often face, such as subjectivity in marking, time limitations, and large class sizes, which can affect the reliability of writing assessment.
