Application of Big Data in English Teaching Evaluation and Feedback System
Abstract
With the rapid development of information technology, big data has become a hot topic in the field of education. In English teaching, an evaluation and feedback system is key to improving teaching quality. This study explores the use of big data technology for the evaluation and feedback system of English teaching, with a view to improving teaching efficiency and students’ learning effectiveness. First, the feasibility and necessity of big data technology in English teaching evaluation were determined through a literature review and analysis of existing systems. Second, a prototype of a big data-based English teaching evaluation and feedback system was designed and implemented, comprised of a model for grammatical error recognition and scoring, a model for predicting students’ English proficiency development, and a model for implementing a feedback mechanism. Specifically, a neural network model was constructed using RNN, which is able to process time-series data to implement the grammatical error recognition kernel scoring. A prediction model of students’ English proficiency development is a support vector machine (SVM) used to predict students’ general English proficiency level, Y. Finally, a real-time feedback model based on Item Response Theory (IRT) was implemented using a dynamic adaptive strategy. Finally, the teaching and learning data before and after the use of the system were collected and analyzed through an experimental study. Results indicated that the English teaching evaluation and feedback system based on big data has a positive effect on college students’ learning of English.
The proposed system not only improves their learning outcomes, but also helps to stimulate learning motivation, change learning attitudes, and obtain better results at different knowledge points. The findings of this study demonstrate that big data technology can effectively integrate and analyze teaching evaluation information and provide teachers with real-time, personalized feedback.
