摘要

通过音频技术提供有效的反馈来促进学术写作,在当今的高等教育中尚未得到充分的探索。本文报告了一项调查,调查了在阿曼名为中东学院(MEC)的高等教育机构的背景下,最后一级基础学生如何感知Kaizena作为数字音频反馈工具的影响。Kaizena平台更具体地评估了其有效性,即基础学生提供有关其学术写作的个性化音频反馈。本文采用解释性认识论的立场,通过定量和定性的调查来寻求英语学生的认知。我们向60名英语基础水平的学生发放了一套调查问卷,以收集他们对所讨论的工具的满意度,同时对6名参加学术写作课程的英语学生进行了访谈,以引出他们对所调查的反馈方式的深入分析反应。总体而言,数据驱动的结果显示参与者的积极反应,确保Kaizena是一个有效的工具,用于最终提高他们的学术写作技能。本文还讨论了Kaizena的有用性及其在全球高等教育的广泛背景下的潜在适用性和传播。

KAIZENA: A TOOL FOR INDIVIDUALIZED AUDIO FEEDBACK ON ACADEMIC WRITING
Providing effective feedback through audio technology to promote academic writing has yet to be fully explored in higher education institutions today. This paper reports on an investigation of how the final level foundation students have perceived the impact of Kaizena as a digital audio feedback tool in the context of a higher education institution in Oman named the Middle East College (MEC). The Kaizena platform was more specifically evaluated in terms of its effectiveness as to foundation students’ provision of personalized audio feedback concerning their academic writing. The paper adopted an interpretive epistemological stance with quantitative and qualitative inquiries to seek EFL students’ perceptions. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 60 students at English foundation levels to collect their satisfaction on the tool in question while a focus group of 6 EFL students taking up an academic writing course were interviewed to elicit their deep analytical responses towards the investigated modality of feedback. Overall, the data-driven results revealed positive responses from the participants, assuring that Kaizena is an effective tool to be used to ultimately enhance their academic writing skills. Implications on the usefulness of the Kaizena and its potential applicability and dissemination in a wider context of HEIs worldwide are discussed.
