Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the assessment of writing, particularly in academic and professional contexts. It examines the validity and fairness of large-scale proficiency tests, the role of domain experts in test development, and the use of automated essay scoring (AES) systems. The journal also explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI on writing assessment, including AI detection tools, AI-assisted feedback, and LLM-based scoring. Furthermore, it investigates pedagogical approaches to writing instruction that leverage AI and the development of rating scales for specific writing tasks, such as intralinguistic mediation.
