- Abstract
The iWrite writing evaluation system assesses students’ writing from four dimensions: vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and content. This study selected 30 valid samples from the experimental class and compared the differences between computer-assisted evaluation and manual evaluation via data analysis to examine the effectiveness and credibility of computer-assisted evaluation. The research has found that there are slight differences in the focus and scoring criteria between iWrite assisted evaluation and manual evaluation — the former focuses more on vocabulary, grammar, and structure, while the latter focuses more on viewpoints and logic. Apart from improving the validity and objectivity of writing evaluation, the iWrite evaluation system can greatly enhance the evaluation effect and efficiency, thereby effectively polishing students’ writing output ability. This synthesis of computer assisted evaluation and manual evaluation will contribute to the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of college English writing teaching and learning.
