Genre-based Automated Writing Evaluation for L2 Research Writing [electronic resource] : From Design to Evaluation and Enhancement /
Cotos, E.author.
Research writing and teaching is a great challenge for novice scholars, especially L2 writers. This book presents a compelling and much-needed automated writing evaluation (AWE) reinforcement to L2 research writing pedagogy.
