The use of automated writing evaluation (AWE) in second language (L2) writing contexts has increased dramatically, as evidenced by the large body of research published on the topic over the past decade (e.g., Li, 2021; Link et al., 2022; Zhang, 2020). Considering this, several systematic reviews on AWE have been published (Ding & Zou, 2023; Ngo et al., 2022; Zhai & Ma, 2022). Nevertheless,...
