| Research Abstract |
The study focused on written feedback to students' English texts in an EFL context. We found that both feedback on content and grammar are equally important to EFL students. Our research also revealed that students particularly expected feedback on vocabulary use. EFL teachers' feedback comments were analyzed quantitatively and the results were presented at an international conference, and the results were also published in a refereed journal. Further, a comparison between automated writing evaluation and human evaluation was conducted, with some teaching implications suggested when using an online writing practice tool outside of the classroom. The outcome of the study was presented at another international conference and the paper of the study is currently being reviewed.
