Abstrakt

This literature review examines empirical research on automated writing feedback tools in university ESL and EFL classrooms. It compares the effectiveness of automated feedback with traditional teacher feedback for undergraduate students. The findings suggest that automated writing evaluation tools serve as valuable supplements to conventional methods of feedback provision, reinforcing the importance of integrating technological advancements with pedagogical strategies to optimise student engagement and writing proficiency.
