A Comparative and Integrated Study of English Composition Online Automatic Scoring (OAS) and Teacher Scoring (TS)

摘要

The objective of this paper is to explore the reliability of Online Automatic Scoring(OAS)through the comparison of OAS and Teacher Scoring(TS),and further demonstrate the feasibility of the integration of the two scoring methods.The Pearson correlation statistics of the two scoring results of 115 compositions are processed with SPSS analysis software,indicating that the correlation between the two reaches 0.83,which means that OAS is relatively reliable in dealing with students’compositions.After the second stage of the TS experiment,the questionnaire results show that students generally recognize the OAS and have a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the two scoring methods.Combined with the students’interview,the conclusion is that the OAS is reliable and the integration of the two scoring methods will have a better effect.
