I will discuss this study's method. First, let's review the study
participants. For this study, 86 American English-speaking adults
between 18 and 49 were recruited from various backgrounds regarding
their first language, education, and professional history. Additionally,
two experienced English as a second language teachers were present to
grade students' writing.
Slide 10:
First, let me explain the experiment procedure. Participants initially
complete the Oxford Online Placement Test (OOPT) to determine their
assigned assessment condition, followed by three Microsoft Word tasks
given to students. The tasks were to email a group project partner
apologizing and suggesting a solution, write an online review about food
service, and provide an opinion on an online education topic. Moreover,
the study was conducted with two groups of participants: one had access
to Microsoft Word's spelling tools, while the other was the control group
without access to any devices. All experiments were recorded using
QuickTime Player's screen recording function.

How do the two evaluators rate each participant? Assessing lexical form
and meaning at the sentence level depends on the participant's ability to
write words correctly. In contrast, their use of form and syntax to expres
s meaning determines the score for morphosyntactic form and meaning.
Cohesion in forms and meanings at the discourse level is graded based o
n participants' expressive abilities, with consistent use of cohesive devic
es being a crucial factor in scoring. At the discourse level, participants ar
e evaluated based on their use of referential forms and logical connective
s to achieve cohesion in both sentences and discourse.
Slide 12:
The evaluation also considers how well these cohesive forms are conn
ected to their intended referential meanings. Functional meaning is evalu
ated based on how effectively the author conveys their intended message
in writing. Implied meaning is assessed regarding its sociolinguistic, psy
chological, and rhetorical implications.

Slide 14:
Here are the study results: Tables 3 to 5 display the average scores per
task and the ANOVA(analysis of variance) outcomes. Based on
Table 3-5, there is no performance difference between participants with
access to spelling or reference tools and those without. Thus,
participants who used vocabulary tools did not exhibit any advantage in
these ratings compared to those who did not, regardless of the task.

example in the first type “numerical classifiers ” but Japanese describes numeral , they often use
no in all cases for example three books that is misu no hon , so how do i describe this ?
