An Assessment of the Essay Writing Ability of English Students at National Economics University
Published: July 29, 2026
Abstract
This study assesses the essay writing ability of English-major students at the National Economics University based on five criteria: organization, content, grammar and sentence structure, vocabulary, and punctuation. Each criterion is evaluated using four performance levels: Excellent, Good, Needs Improvement, and Unacceptable. The findings indicate that the students performed relatively well across all five criteria, with average scores ranging from approximately 70% to 80%. These results provide valuable insights for both lecturers and students in identifying strengths and areas requiring improvement in academic writing, thereby facilitating appropriate adjustments to enhance the effectiveness of essay writing instruction and learning.
