Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between subjective evaluation and objective measures of ESL writing proficiency. The objective measures used in this study accounted for 84% of the variance of subjective grades assigned to a sample of ESL compositions at the intermediate level. The relationship between the statistical procedures used in this study and the subjective grading mechanism are discussed, and a funnel model of subjective grading of ESL writing proficiency is proposed.Keywords
