Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the relationship between autonomous learning attitudes and performance and the effects of online writing assessment activities on the development of learners' writing skills in college English education. First, existing academic writing textbooks were collected and cross-analyzed to identify the types of task activities, evaluation criteria, and rubrics in use. Next, in order to clarify what kind of feedback is effective for learners, a survey on autonomous learning attitudes and performance was conducted among university students who have difficulty with English. In addition, an online evaluation of learners' writing activities was conducted to examine the relationship among writing evaluation, performance, learning attitudes, and writing views.
