Corrective Feedback

CorrectiveFeedback.com will revolutionize the provision of corrective feedback on ESL writing. Start by creating a grid. Add the tools you need, configure them, and start correcting. Here are just some of the tools available on the system:

–VirtualWritingTutor Tool (Check for Errors)
–FieldRelated Tool (Check for field-of-study vocabulary)
–Word choice Tool (Check for academic word list)
–Statistics Tool (word count, sentence length)
–Automatic Randomized Comments (Define your comments in advance and the system will randomly select one for you to give your student. You always sound fresh and can maintain the voice-of-the-reader no matter how tired you feel.)
–Target Structure Tool (Check for target phrases in the text.)
–Audio Tool (Send MP3 messages with your comments–a virtual writing conference.)
–Pronunciation Tool (Check, model with TTS, and score target pronunciation using penalties and rewards.)
–Rubric Tool (Define expectations with descriptors and scores.)
–Total Score Tool (Calculate the score generated by the other tools and display it with comments.)
–Many other tools either do pre-defined searches or load pre-defined rubrics which you can modify.

Once you have your grid, paste a student’s text into the text area and hit “Analyze.” The system then analyzes the text using each of the tools in sequence. Once it is done, it shows you the result for you to review and comment on. When you are satisfied with the feedback. click “Print report” to generate a PDF containing your corrective feedback. Alternatively, you can return the feedback in an email with the PDF as an attachment. Altogether, it is a very powerful system.
