Abstract:
Providing feedback is crucial in the language learning process. In time, formative feedback can help both learners and teachers confirm the ongoing acquisition of language. However, as of today, there is still little research not only on manual formative feedback but also on automated formative feedback. Thus, in this paper, we elaborate on how to track learners’ acquisition for formative feedback by developing a system for foreign language writing. The system is implemented based on the results of an analysis of data collected from conventional face-to-face classrooms in Chinese learning.
