REVIEW OF HANDBOOK OF AUTOMATED ESSAY EVALUATION: CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND NEW DIRECTIONS Handbook of Automated Essay Evaluation: Current Applications and New Directions

چکیده
Since Ellis Page (1966) published his landmark article, “The Imminence of Grading Essays by Computer,” the issue of using computers to grade writing and provide feedback has been a great concern for researchers in language testing and writing instruction. Research has been done for the creation and development of systems for automated essay evaluation (AEE), or automated essay scoring (AES), what has been called the process of evaluation and scoring written prose via computer programs (Shermis & Burstein, 2003). The Handbook of automated essay evaluation edited by Mark D. Shermis and Jill Burstein collects the most recent articles about research on AEE and provides comprehensive perspectives for addressing the following issues: AEE and writing instruction, applications of different AEE engines, validity and reliability of AEE, and discussions of aspects reflecting writing constructs in AEE. This handbook, therefore, is beneficial for both researchers and writing instructors who are interested in investigating how AEE can be better applied in essay assessment and writing instruction.
