An EFL Adult Autonomous Learner’s Engagement with Automated Written Corrective Feedback on International English Language Testing System Writing Practice

Abstract

The present study explores IELTS writing preparation with automated written corrective feedback (AWCF). A single-case study is conducted to determine how an EFL adult autonomous learner engages with Grammarly’s AWCF. The participant is a 30-year-old male electrical engineer with no ties to educational institutions, learning independently with a tutor´s assistance for test format and content. Semi-structured interviews are used to collect the three interrelated dimensions of the learner’s engagement with AWCF on International English Language Testing System (IELTS) writing practice; that is, cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement.
