Computer-Assisted Writing on a Principled Basis: The Case against Computer-Assisted Text Analysis for Non-Proficient Writers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pennington, Martha C. – Language and Education, 1993
A case is made against the use of computer-assisted text analysis, including style analyzers and grammar checkers, with nonproficient second-language or basic-skills student writers. The inaccuracy of analysis, limited feedback, and type of revision behavior encouraged are cited. (33 references) (Author/LB)
