Abstract

The focus of teaching English Foreign Language (EFL) writing has undergone a great change in the past few years, from writing products to writing processes, due to the complexity of skills involved in writing. This paradigm requires writing instructors to be able to make writing processes become a meaningful learning to their students which then affect their teaching quality. Related to the teaching quality of EFL writing, a portfolio is an alternative assessment that the writing instructors can use to improve the quality of their teaching activity since it reflects students' progress towards instructional goals. The students' progress reflects the teaching quality as well. Portfolio, in this case, is samples of students' works which are used not only to assess students' writing skill but also to create a more communicative teaching of EFL writing. By using portfolio assessment, the writing instructors have the opportunity to look in depth their students' needs, want, and lack which can be used as an input for a better teaching. Therefore, this article which is derived from the results of the research conducted in 2016 discusses the influence of portfolio assessment in improving the quality of teaching English Foreign Language (EFL) writing in the 3rd semester students of English Education Study Program of University of Maritim Raja Ali Haji in academic year 2016/2017.
