    We present a review of technologies designed to support writing instruction in higher and secondary education that was carried out by an international team of researchers within the European Literacy Network (funded by COST Action IS1401; www.is1401eln.eu/en/working-groups/working-group-3/). The review covers tools to support both native and non-native writers and focuses primarily on instructional affordances, thus broadening the scope of previous research in this field that was organised according to technological specifications. In this vein, Allen, Jacovina, and McNamara (2015) proposed a distinction between Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE), Essay Scoring (ES) and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). Our review shows that, with technology enhanced learning becoming more ubiquitous and widespread, new technologies and tools catering to a broader range of pedagogical settings and approaches are emerging. Method Data collection was done through an extensive literature and database search in six European languages and an online survey sent out to the expert community via mailing lists. Of the 89 tools that were collected in this way, we retained 44 tools for further analysis, after applying exclusion criteria (e.g., appropriate target group, emphasis on writing activities). For a comprehensive and systematic overview, a coding framework consisting of 40 qualitative and quantitative descriptors was developed. Next to general information about e.g. supported languages and technological specifications, the descriptors cover features related to writing processes, pedagogical approaches, feedback modalities and interaction support. Results In this presentation, we will briefly outline the major results of our analysis. Next to expanding the existing classification by adding other forms of learning technology, e.g., interactive tutorials, the results uncover an imbalance. While automated support for revision on the micro-level targeting factual knowledge is well represented, tools that support the development ...

  2. The bilingual academic phrasebook : can it support writers? And how?

    This presentation reports on the creation of a bilingual academic phrasebook (or two corresponding phrasebooks in English and German), which is based on two corpora of 20,000 English and 16,000 German documents, as a work in progress. Built on the Manchester Phrasebank methodology, the present project focuses on collecting phrases and examining connections between the two languages. What we refer to as a phrasebook is a collection of expressions used to perform the most important speech acts in academic papers. As an inventory of frequently used expressions in research articles and theses, the collection is a representation of the functional aspects of academic language and, as such, may be viewed as a rhetoric for academic texts. In the presentation, we describe how phrases are selected and organized along the IMRD sequence in order to correspond with the composition process. We also outline a theoretical framework grounded in genre theory, rhetoric and linguistics to provide the basis for the phrasebook’s planned pedagogical uses, as well as lay some foundations for this branch of research. In addition, we demonstrate how the phrases may be used to support authors in a digital learning environment called Thesis Writer, in which the phrases are available to writers when their papers demand certain speech acts. The most important part of our presentation will be a reflection on the parallelism of German and English expressions, with a brief overview of some of the similarities and differences in frequencies found when comparing the two languages. While the phrasebook is a key component in the structure of Thesis Writer, our intention is to make it available as a separate digital tool to be used independently. Concluding, we summarize our experience thus far with the uses and limitations of academic phrases in the teaching of academic writing, both in L1 and L2.

    The implementation of internationalisation strategies by higher education policymakers has led to a steady increase in English-taught programmes (Wächter & Maiworm 2014). The recognition of English as an economic (Ehrenreich 2010) and academic (Ljosland 2011) lingua franca also applies to Engineering, where the proficient use of English is highly valued (Minsch et al. 2017), and practical skills, such as the writing of technical reports, are expected outcomes from engineering students' university level education (Karras et al., 2015: 8-13). In spite of its importance, the placement testing of writing skills, regrettably, tends to be avoided on the grounds that it is too time-consuming. This is especially true when large numbers of new students are involved. However, advancements in computerized text analysis in the form of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) show great promise in responding to this need. This paper describes the design, results and further development of an AES tool and CEFR-level prediction algorithm that was created and experimentally implemented at a major University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland as part of an online English placement test for first-year engineering students. In line with current research in AES, the algorithm was developed employing a prediction-accuracy pseudo-black box approach (see Vanhove et al. 2019, Yannakoudakis 2013) using a small training corpus of texts with known CEFR levels (N=50). The tool's advantages will also be discussed. Written and run entirely in an R environment (R Core Team 2017, version 3.4.3) using the koRpus package (Michalke 2017) as the tool's workhorse, the user has complete control over the tool's implementation, and can integrate it with other advanced text analyses possible in R (e.g., text mining, word embedding). The algorithm requires a minimum of resources, is simple to use and is cost-effective. As the tool can handle bulk grading of large numbers of texts, it is ideal for placement testing. Further, the AES algorithm is efficient. In ...

    This paper presents a review of the technologies designed to support writing instruction in secondary and higher education. The review covers tools to support first and second language writers and focuses on instructional affordances based on their technological specifications. Previous studies in this field centred on Automated Writing Evaluation, Automated Essay Scoring and the rarer Intelligent Tutoring Systems, addressing mainly essay writing needs in US secondary school instruction. With technology-enhanced learning becoming more ubiquitous and widespread, new technologies and tools catering to a broader range of genres, pedagogical settings, and approaches are emerging. We present a systematic analysis of 44 tools across 26 quantitative and qualitative features related to writing processes, pedagogical approaches, feedback modalities and technological specifications. The results uncover an imbalance of available tools with regard to supported languages, genres, and pedagogical focus. While a considerable number of tools support argumentative essay writing in English, other academic writing genres (e.g., research articles) and other languages are under-represented. With regard to the pedagogical focus, automated support for revising on the micro-level targeting factual knowledge (e.g., grammar, spelling, word frequencies) is well represented, whereas tools that support the development of writing strategies and encourage self-monitoring to improve macrolevel text quality (e.g., argumentative structure, rhetorical moves) are infrequent. By mapping the state of the art and specifying direction for further research and development, this review is of interest to researchers, policymakers, tool developers, and practitioners of writing instruction in higher and secondary education institutions.
