Abstract

Online Automated Essay Scoring (AES) is used to promote the teaching of EFL writing partly, but it can’t work very effectively for some reasons, mainly including misuse and the shortcomings of AES itself. The study tries to investigate the validity of AES by analyzing a questionnaire survey by means of a statistical tool SPSS and discusses the problems existing in the use of AES and the shortcomings in AES itself. Then accordingly some suggestions are presented on how to use AES more effectively so as to enhance students’ stimulus and motivation in writing and improve their writing ability and on how to improve AES.
