Throng all these stages it is assumed that peers and teacher are both responding
to the writer through conferencing in person, electronic communication, or, at the very least, an exchange of papers. The impromptu timed tests and the methods of
scoring discussed earlier may appear to be only distantly related to such an individualized process of creating a written text, but are they, in reality? All those developmental stages may be the preparation that learners need both to function on a timed impromptu test. And those holistic scores are after all generalizations of the various components of effective writing. If the hard work of successfully progressing through a semester or two of a challenging course in academic writing ultimately means that writers are ready to function in their real-world contexts, and to get a 5 or 6 on the TWE ,then all the effort worthwhile.
