markers such as nationality.
Tony Silva says that L1 and L2 writing is different.
Strategies for reduciong bias:

Strive to be fair (alternate between holistic and
analytic grading)
-
Swap papers with peers for grading
-
Conduct mini workshops with students

The information that's given is so helpful in my pursue of teaching English to other speakers. I like how you organizes your Blog which is very clear. It's very professional and detail-oriented. As a teacher, I tried to be as objective as I can, but I am human and bring in something might be bias when I am teaching that's why it's so important for me to re-evaluate my teaching ethnic and be fair.
