| Research Abstract |
The teaching (classroom) models that incorporate the use of automated writing assessment system were constructed and evaluated for their effectiveness in terms of student improvements. These models are designed for to allow teachers to direct their resources to more important areas such as content, organization and logical development by leaving the feedback-giving for local areas (grammar, expressions, etc.) to the automated writing assessment software. While testing the efficacy of the software itself, the study obtained almost similar student improvements using the models as compared to regular writing classes. Also, it was found that different models match different types of students, so the maximization of the effects of each model was done based on the data.
