Abstract: This paper deals with the assessment of the students’ ESP writing skills and, more specifically, with the influence that the Assessment for Learning strategies have on the development of their writing skills. The first part of the paper is dedicated to the analysis of the similarities and differences between several theoretical concepts, such as assessment, evaluation, examination, feedback, and test. Test items and scoring methods (i.e., holistic scoring, primary trait scoring and analytic scoring) are also discussed in this theoretical part. The second part of the paper presents a case study proposal based on the hypothesis according to which the employment of Assessment for Learning strategies contributes in a consistent manner to the enhancement of the learners’ ESP writing skills.
