Abstract

Currently, much attention has been paid to the online intelligent grading system widely used in college English writing teaching. In an effort to make the best use of the system, the article conducted an empirical study of applying the system to college English writing teaching. The findings are: 1) the intelligent grading system does work efficiently in college English writing teaching, however, it needs to be optimized in assessing the students’ writing texts and providing related feedback; 2) it is necessary to combine with teacher-assisted feedback and supervision on the basis of the intelligent grading system.
