Abstract
With the advent of computer programs that rate essays, English teachers may use computers to help them evaluate and provide feedback on student essays. But how might teachers use the computer-generated ratings? To answer this question, 117 English teachers were surveyed to determine their current essay grading practices and their preferences for receiving and using computer ratings. Middle school and high school English teachers reported spending much of their time grading essays; yet, they provided students with relatively few words of feedback. Almost all of the teachers reported that they would use computer ratings to provide feedback to students. However, many teachers also reported that they would do less marking on student essays that are rated by computer than they do currently. Potential uses of the computer ratings include guiding teacher feedback and focusing peer feedback.
