This is the inevitable result of the combination of computer tech-nology and English teaching. The theoretical basis of this paper is the feedback of English writing and related theories introduced as follows.

Summary

Introduction

Entering the era of "global village", people interact with each other in much larger space. In addition to the introduction of relevant fundamentals of English writing feedback, we designed a teaching experiment to test the effect of the online automatic scoring and feedback system on college English writing. The teaching test lasts for a whole academic year and divided into three phases to generate statistical data of the compositions’ score, length, grammar and text organization. After analyzing these data, we use a questionnaire to investigate the students’ attitude towards and recognition degree of the system. Our research results are instructive in popularizing the online automatic scoring and feedback system among English writing teaching in China. With a case study, the system is verified positive in improving student’s overall level of English writing
