The Impact of English Writing Instruction Integrated with Automated Evaluation Systems on College English Teachers
|
Abstract:
In order to figure out the impact of automated evaluation system integration into English writing instruction on college English teachers, this study designed a semester-long experiment to explore the changes in college English teachers before and after integrating an automated evaluation system into college English writing classrooms. Qualitative and quantitative results were drawn from surveys, interviews, etc. Suggestions were also proposed for college English writing instruction as well as teacher development in the “Intelligence Plus” era.
