1. Introduction “ Bac Writing: Graded with Care, Not Guesswork.” Written expression has long been a challenging component of English language testing especially in Algeria. The criteria for correcting written expression are embedded in official guidelines and normative standards. However, inconsistencies in interpretation, examiner subjectivity, and procedural limitations have led to debates on fairness and the overall quality of the corrections..

4. Suggestions of Teachers for Further Improvement.

Restoring new grading system I suggest introducing digital correction systems to ensure greater fairness, consistency,and professionalism in marking written expression in the Baccalaureate exam. Clear correction criteria, teacher training, fewer papers, and digital correction can improve fairness and consistency. Digital correction system and training sessions before the correction. Provide clear rubrics, train examiners, use anonymized copies, and apply moderation or double marking to ensure fairness and consistency. Providing enough time, little papers also giving some teachers the chance to contribute in correction in order to help the other teachers and gain experience Create a detailed marking scheme and stick to it, manage time and control fatigue , in addition to applying positive marking..

5. Practice. Teachers are asked to read the following prompt and correct a sample of second term examination scientific stream papers and fill in the work sheet..
