چکیده

in this study, we investigated the errors native speakers of farsi commit when rating the esl essays, using a many-facet rasch measurement approach. to that end, two native speakers of farsi rated 56 essays which 28 male and female advanced language learners learning farsi as a second language at persian language centre at imam khomeini international university in qazvin, iran wrote on two topics in winter 2014. the raters rated the language learners' essays, using a researcher-made, 5-point analytic rating scale. we analyzed the collected data, using facets. the results of facets analyses showed that raters showed bias towards both topics. the results also revealed raters’s bias towards only coherence. statistically significant differences were found in raters’ bias towards essays. the findings suggest that raters should be provided with strict guidelines to rate accurately and consistently. the findings can shed light on rater training to reduce the errors raters may commit.
