The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of using an Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) program in a Korean high school on both teacher feedback and learner writing performance. Twenty-six students were divided into two groups: one receiving integrated feedback from the AWE program and the teacher, and the other receiving feedback solely from the teacher. Results indicated that using the AWE program reduced the quantity of feedback provided by the teacher, thus decreasing the time and effort required for feedback. Specifically, the teacher’s burden in providing lower-level feedback was significantly alleviated. The AWE program excelled in correcting grammar and spelling errors, while the teacher focused on context-specific issues. Analysis of students’ essays on five analytic writing features revealed that, although there were no significant differences in overall analytic writing scores between groups, the integrated feedback group showed significant improvement in vocabulary and mechanics, whereas the teacher-only group improved in organization. Further pedagogical suggestions and implications are discussed based on the results.

이 연구의 목적은 한국의 한 고등학교에서 AWE 프로그램을 사용하는 것이 교사의 피드백과 학습자의 글쓰기 수행에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것입니다. 26명의 학생들은 AWE 프로그램과 교사로부터 통합적인 피드백을 받는 그룹과 교사로부터 통합적인 피드백을 받는 그룹으로 나뉘었습니다. 그 결과 AWE 프로그램을 사용하면 교사가 제공하는 피드백의 양이 줄어들어 피드백에 소요되는 시간과 노력이 감소하는 것으로 나타났습니다. 구체적으로, 하위 수준의 피드백을 제공하는 데 있어 교사의 부담이 상당히 완화되었습니다. AWE 프로그램은 문법과 철자 오류를 수정하는 데 탁월했고, 교사는 상황별 문제에 초점을 맞추었습니다. 다섯 가지 분석적 글쓰기 특징에 대한 학생들의 에세이를 분석한 결과, 통합적 피드백 그룹은 전체 분석적인 쓰기 점수에 유의미한 차이가 없었지만 어휘와 표기법에서 유의미한 향상을 보였고 교사 전용 그룹은 조직에서 유의미한 향상을 보였습니다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 추가적인 교육학적 제안과 시사점을 논의합니다.
