WRITING COMPETENCY TEST

BLUE PRINT

Introduction

The following writing test is developed based upon a theory developed by Lloyd Davis and

Susan McKay (1996) in their book entitled “Structures and Strategies. In Introduction to

Academic Writing”. According to them, a descriptive text is defined as the representation

of sensory experiences in language. It is generally indicated with seven operational

indicators, namely: (1) title, (2) topic sentence, (3) perspective (personal or impersonal), (4)

selection (focus), (5) order (beginning, middle and end), (6) grammar (vocabulary and

structure), and (7) mechanics (punctuation and capitalization).

While, a narrative text is defined as the representation of time relationships in language. It is

generally indicated with eight operational indicators, namely: (1) title, (2) topic sentence, (3)

viewpoint, (4) tempo (chronology), (4) character, (5) action, (7) grammar (vocabulary and

structure), and (8) mechanics (punctuation and capitalization).
