摘要
文章通过对调查问卷、总结报告和访谈记录的分析,对37名学生基于英语作文自动评价(Automated Writing Evaluation,AWE)反馈的写作过程进行了探讨,并以批改网为例,重点研究了AWE提供的词汇反馈点和AWE提供的反馈对学生的词汇修改的影响这两个问题。文章研究的结果表明,批改网提供的词汇反馈点主要为学习资源反馈点,给予的词汇警示和词汇错误反馈点主要集中于名词、冠词、动词和搭配错误;学生比较关注批改网反馈给予的词汇错误和词汇警示,反馈有助于提升文本词汇的多样性和复杂性,学生对涉及单词、搭配/短语的反馈比较满意。此外,文章还讨论了AWE反馈影响学生词汇修改的相关因素,以期有针对性地发挥AWE反馈的积极作用,提升学生的英文写作水平,更好地开展大学英语写作教学。
Through the analyses of questionnaires, summary reports and interview records, this paper discussed 37 students' writing process based on Automated Writing Evaluation(AWE) feedback. Meanwhile, this paper focused on the effect of the vocabulary feedback points and the feedback provided by AWE on students' vocabulary revision by taking the Pigai.org for example. Results showed that the vocabulary feedback points from the Pigai.org were mainly learning resources feedback points, and the feedback points of vocabulary warnings and errors mainly concentrated on nouns, articles, verbs and collocation errors. At the same time, students paid more attention to the feedback on vocabulary warnings and errors from Pigai.org, and the feedback contributed to the improvement of the lexical diversity and sophistication. Meanwhile, students were satisfied with the feedback on vocabulary and collocations/phrases. In addition, the relevant factors of AWE feedback influencing students' vocabulary revision were analyzed, which was expected to targetedly make the AWE feedback play a positive role, improve students' English writing ability and better carry out college English writing teaching.
