虽然自动化写作评估软件的使用在CALL文献中受到了广泛关注，但正如Frankenberg-Garcia（2019）所指出的那样，缺乏对预测文本和智能写作助手的实证研究。因此，本研究通过研究Grammarly（一种结合预测文本技术的智能写作助手）对日本L2英语学生移动的写作质量的影响来解决文献中的这一差距。具体来说，该研究探讨了语法是否有显着影响的语法准确性，词汇丰富性，写作流畅性，或句法复杂性的L2学生的写作相比，无辅助的移动的写作。共有31名大学英语专业学生参加了为期8周的研究，采用了平衡设计。在研究期间，参与者每周在每种写作条件（非语法和语法）下参加指导自由写作任务。描述性统计和t检验的结果表明，当学生在语法的帮助下写作时，他们产生的语法错误更少，词汇变异更多。这些发现突出了预测文本和实时纠正反馈作为支持L2写作的一种方式的潜力，特别是在新手作家谁可能难以有效地在L2写作。
While the use of automated writing evaluation software has received much attention in CALL literature, as Frankenberg-Garcia (2019) notes, empirical research on predictive text and intelligent writing assistants is lacking. Thus, this study addressed this gap in the literature by examining the impact of Grammarly, an intelligent writing assistant that incorporates predictive text technology, on the mobile writing quality of Japanese L2 English students. Specifically, the study explored if Grammarly had a significant effect on the grammatical accuracy, lexical richness, writing fluency, or syntactic complexity of L2 students’ writing when compared to unassisted mobile writing. A total of 31 university EFL students participated in the 8-week study which utilized a counterbalanced design. Participants took part in weekly guided freewriting tasks under each writing condition (non-Grammarly and Grammarly) over the duration of the study. The descriptive statistics and results from t-tests showed that when students wrote with the assistance of Grammarly, they produced fewer grammatical errors and wrote with more lexical variation. These findings highlight the potential of predictive text and real-time corrective feedback as a way to support L2 writing, particularly among novice writers who may struggle to write effectively in the L2.
