Zhe Zhang; Ken Hyland – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Research on second language (L2) writing suggests that student engagement with automated writing evaluation (AWE) feedback is influenced by various individual and contextual factors. Little attention, however, has been given to the role that students' digital literacy can play in this process. Increasingly, digital literacy is becoming…

Xu, Zhihong; Banerjee, Manjari; Ramirez, Gilbert; Zhu, Gang; Wijekumar, Kausalai – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2019
Learning to write well can be a significant contributor to English language proficiency. The large population of English language learners (ELLs) has highlighted the need for educational technology as an important support for the different approaches to writing instruction for ELLs. In this meta-analysis, we examined the effectiveness of…

Jiang, Wei; Eslami, Zohreh R. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Although the effectiveness of computer-mediated collaborative writing (CMCW) is confirmed by many recent studies, only a few have investigated whether linguistic knowledge and writing skills learned through collaboration can be internalized and transferred to individual writing. This study uses a pre-and post-test design to investigate the impact…

Byrne, Timothy – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2007
Many teachers today use Learning Management Systems (LMS), several of which are open-source. Specific examples are Claroline and Moodle. However, they are not specifically designed for language learning, and hence not entirely suitable. In this article, I will compare two uses of the Claroline LMS available at Louvain-la-Neuve within the framework…
