 As professionals in ELT, we should all be aware of the importance of ensuring students’ success aided by the use of assessment rubrics.  The latter ought to be used as a way to guide our students throughout their academic development.  
A rubric is used to check students’ academic performance as well as their daily production, including their behavior and any other criteria set by the professor or the educational curriculum.  Moreover, it should serve as a guideline or tool for teachers to objectively evaluate their students’ work and measure their observable performance.   

 It is important to note that rubrics must be customized to suit various purposes, levels and skills.  If required, they should also be modified once they have been developed according to the target audience. 

We must bear in mind that rubrics must be presented and handed out to students prior to assessment.  As a matter of fact, if students are provided with scoring criteria as well as rubrics, they will be better prepared and be able to improve the quality of their own work and increase knowledge.
