ABSTRACT Background Automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems, used as formative assessment tools in classrooms, are promising for enhancing instruction and improving student performance. Although meta‐analytic evidence supports AWE's effectiveness various contexts, research on its the U.S. K–12 setting has lagged behind rapid adoption. Further rigorous studies needed to investigate of AWE within context. Objectives This study aims usage Utah Compose system students' state test English Language Arts (ELA) performance first year statewide implementation. Methods The sample included all students from grades 4–11 during school 2015 ( N = 337,473). Employing a quasi‐experimental design using generalised boosted modelling propensity score weighting, analysis focused estimating average treatment effects among treated (ATT) system. Results Conclusions results showed that who utilised more frequently demonstrated improved ELA compared their counterparts with lower or no usage. varied across certain demographic groups. provides strong systematic support hypothesis causal inferences regarding large‐scale, naturalistic implementation, offering valuable insights stakeholders seeking understand systems.

ABSTRACT Using a person‐centered approach, the present study aimed to investigate potential profiles of motivational regulation strategies for writing (MRSW) and examine predictive effect L2 anxiety on membership MRSW profiles. Data were collected from sample 604 secondary school students with two questionnaires. The Second Language Writing Strategies Motivational Regulation Questionnaire (L2WSMRQ) was employed identify possible profiles, Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) administered reveal association between these among this population. Three distinct (i.e., low, medium, high profile) identified via latent profile analysis. Multinomial logistic regression revealed that cognitive avoidance behavior served as effective predictors These findings may shed light heterogeneous configuration patterns strategy use in EFL provide practical implications practitioners researchers aiming offer personalized instructions tailored different levels.
