Clause Encounters of the Third Kind: Can LLMs Replace Language Teachers?

While various organizations now actively encourage LLM use in classrooms, we still lack rigorous, systematic evaluations of how well these models actually perform the fundamental tasks of language pedagogy. This paper examines whether state-of-the-art LLMs can deliver the kind of corrective feedback and methodological...

Human versus machine

Although LLM-based benchmark ratings can approximate expert judgments and reduce the need for labor-intensive human triple coding, limitations remain regarding cost, genre- and task specificity, and sensitivity to text presentation and student grade level—factors that constrain immediate classroom use, particularly for...

Teacher Strategies for Reducing AI Generated Content in English Major Student Writing

Generative AI can produce fluent prose before students have worked through the linguistic choices that writing courses are intended to teach. This study examined how one university instructor responded to that problem in a second-year English-major writing course. Forty-two students (18 men and 24 women; mean age = 20....

Beyond Guessing: Task-Level Predictors of Non-Native English-Speaking Students’ Ability to Identify AI-Generated Scientific Texts

The increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular large language models (LLMs), is transforming how scientific texts are produced and consumed. A growing share of online content is at least partially generated by AI, often without readers’ awareness, raising the question of whether students can r...

SWIM: Student Writing Simulation via Proficiency-Conditioned Generation

This work evaluates prompting, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning (RL) methods for writing simulation using automated essay scoring as a measure of profile alignment and suggests that explicit supervision enables substantially stronger profile alignment than prompting alone.
