What Linguistic Features Predict High-Quality Writing
Abstract
Writing is a basic component of language proficiency, acting as a vital medium for the representation of one’s thoughts, perspectives, attitudes, and more. English writing is a compulsory skill in learning and using the language, and writing proficiency is indicative of the holistic linguistic ability of the individual. Nevertheless, writing instruction has been widely perceived as a major challenge in English language education. Therefore, encouraging debates on “what makes a good English essay” is potentially beneficial for teachers and learners successfully addressing this challenge.
