  • Abstract:
  • This paper examines the validity and reliability of the IELTS assessment, focusing on the implications of using a single prescriptive criterion for international test takers from diverse rhetorical and argumentative traditions. It critiques the existing constructs used to define writing ability within the IELTS framework and highlights the need for more inclusive definitions that reflect international English variations. The study suggests that future research should explore the alignment of IELTS tasks with target language use (TLU) contexts across various cultures, investigate the role of multiple raters, and consider the impact of cultural differences on assessment practices. By promoting a more nuanced understanding of writing constructs, this research aims to enhance the fairness and authenticity of the IELTS examination as an international test of English.
