LSA-Based Automated Essay Scoring in Chinese Context

Abstract:

Since its invention in the 1990s, an immense body of academic literature on LSA regarding to Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has been published. The current study investigated the extent of applicability and usefulness of LSA-based AES for assigning English essays written by Chinese college students. The statistical results showed the application of LSA-based AES in Chinese EFL context is to the limited context. The reason is that LSA-based AES focuses on content while Chinese English writing test are grammar-oriented.
