Abstract

The study explores the effect of evaluation feedback provided by PIGAI-an extensively-used online automated essay scoring system in China. Case study method is employed for the analysis of 2 groups of 10 sample essays of Business English to compare and discuss the online feedback data. The results show that the PIGAI scoring system highlights the appropriate expressions, enlarges knowledge of synonyms and collocations, and distinguishes confusing words. But there is still room for improvement for its inability to accurately identify errors or provide appropriate suggestions associated with textual coherence and organization unity.
