Automated Essay Scoring (AES) offers a scalable solution to the time-intensive and inconsistent nature of human scoring. While traditional AES systems require large sets of prompt-specific scored essays, large language models (LLMs) provide a powerful, adaptable alternative, capable of evaluating essays holistically without an extensive amount of pre-scored essays. However, most research on LLM-based AES focuses on resource-intensive optimization…

Mining Big Data in Education
The emergence of big data in educational contexts has led to new data-driven approaches to support informed decision making and efforts to improve educational effectiveness. Digital traces of student behavior promise more scalable and finer-grained understanding and support of learning processes, which were previously too costly to obtain with traditional data sources and methodologies. This synthetic review describes the affordances and applicat…
Toward the Establishment of a Data‐Driven Learning Model
We investigated how learner factors, such as vocabulary proficiency, strategy use, and working memory, are associated with successful corpus‐based second language (L2) vocabulary learning, in which learners are encouraged to analyze and explore large, structured collections of authentic language data (i.e., corpora) to resolve their lexical issues (i.e., data‐driven learning [DDL]). After measuring L2 vocabulary proficiency and working memory cap…
Recent Contributions of Data Mining to Language Learning Research
This paper will review the role of data mining in research on second language learning. Following a general introduction to the topic, three areas of data mining research will be summarized—clustering techniques, text-mining, and social network analysis—with examples from both the broader field and studies conducted by the authors. The application of data mining in second language learning research is relatively new, and more theoretical and empi…
Computer-Mediated Collaborative Learning
Recently interest has grown concerning the uses of online communication for language teaching. Yet this growing interest in computer-mediated collaborative language learning has not been matched by sufficient research and theory.

It then illustrates these concepts through analysis of a large, U.S.-funded En…
Singapore's Dilemma
A frequently debated question is whether technology molds society or is molded by it. From the rst perspec-tive, known as a determinist view of technology (Ebersole, 1995), the Internet carries with it certain types of val-ues, organization, and social structure that will inevitably impact society. From the second perspective, known as an instrumental view of technology (see discussion in Feenberg, 1991), technologies such as the Internet are “pu…
