Abstract

Through application of an Automated Essay Scoring in medical English writing class? the purpose of this paper is to research the students' attitude towards using the online formative assessment evaluation tool "Juku Correcting network" and the relationship between the writing practice and attitude. The one-year teaching experiment and questionnaires and the interview data show that through the use of the Automated Essay Scoring the students' overall medical English writing level was raised and that the students held affirmative attitudes towards the role of online scoring in medical English writing; word number in writing and the number of times for revising were significantly increased; there was positive correlation between the proportion of using complex words and the students' English proficiency. On the basis of this research, this paper puts forward some suggestions for the teaching of medical English writing and recommendations for improvement of teachers and system developers.
