1 Introduction

Introduced the classification of specialized English courses, emphasized the importance of academic English research, and pointed out the shortcomings of academic writing teaching in domestic research. The author presents five sub topics of academic writing research in China through statistical analysis, and emphasizes the need for expanding research on academic writing teaching. At the same time, the author points out the practical problems in academic writing teaching from the perspective of teaching practice, such as the insufficient output of student assignments and feedback evaluation of homework.

2 evaluation modes

Three main modes of academic English writing evaluation were discussed: teacher feedback, peer evaluation, and intelligent evaluation. Teacher feedback can improve students' writing quality and critical thinking ability, but the workload is heavy; Peer peer evaluation has a significant effect, reducing the burden on teachers, but it is difficult to implement; Intelligent evaluation frees up teachers' time, but it needs to be used in conjunction with teacher feedback. The development of information technology enables feedback methods to be completed online, and multiple evaluation methods are effective. The author proposes an electronic portfolio assignment mode based on Microsoft Word documents through practice, which can improve students' writing skills and diverse abilities, and meet the requirements of foreign language courses in the National Standard (2018).

3 electronic file bags

The archive bag, as a way of displaying works, originated from the mid-20th century British writing assessment. In the mid-1990s, the development of information technology gave birth to electronic file bags with more diversified functions. Electronic file bags are mainly divided into three categories: professional course management platforms, English writing platforms, and electronic file bags creatively established by teachers. Effective implementation of electronic file bags requires careful design by teachers.

Design Concept and Implementation of Electronic Archive Bags for 4 Courses

Introduced the design concept and implementation process of the electronic file bag in this course. The electronic portfolio consists of multiple assignments, each consisting of a Word document containing 5 drafts. The first draft is a handwritten image, aimed at avoiding students from relying on translation software and completing the article in stages. The second draft is a self revised and peer feedback draft, allowing students to consciously apply the skills learned in class and evaluate the article from the reader's perspective. The third draft is an improved version after peer evaluation, and students may be inspired by their peers to make significant adjustments to the article. Teachers will conduct non-verbal evaluations based on this manuscript. The fourth draft is an intelligent feedback and comparison draft, where students can obtain multidimensional feedback on artificial intelligence websites. The document comparison function helps to strengthen memory. Intelligent revision can reduce the language modification burden on teachers. The fifth draft is a reflection log, and teachers can annotate their reflections to enhance students' learning motivation.

An Empirical Study on the Promotion of Diversified Abilities through 5-Homework Electronic File Bags

An empirical study was conducted on the role of electronic portfolios for academic English writing assignments in cultivating diverse abilities. The research background is the academic English writing foundation course jointly developed by Beijing Foreign Studies University and other universities, aimed at cultivating students' general academic English writing foundation and helping them pass the English tests required for international communication or further studies. The research subjects are students from the 2022 and 2023 Beijing Foreign Studies University Central Finance, Beijing Foreign Studies University Political Science and Law, and Beijing Foreign Studies University North Science Joint Training Class. The research design consists of two autumn semesters. In the autumn of 2022, students are required to complete drafts 1-3 and 5. In the autumn of 2023, a fourth draft will be added, and a short video comparing the documents will be provided before the assignment. The study used a questionnaire survey and paired sample Wilcoxon signed rank test and independent sample Mann Whitney U test to analyze the data.

6 Conclusion

This chapter summarizes the research on the role of electronic portfolios for academic English writing assignments in cultivating diverse abilities. Research has found that electronic file bags can significantly enhance students' information technology application ability, self-learning ability, and critical thinking ability. If teachers focus on cultivating these two abilities from the first assignment, students' initial abilities will be significantly higher than those without cultivation and can maintain a high level. The study did not establish an experimental group or a control group, and the investigation of abilities was entirely based on students' intuitive feelings. In the future, quantitative design may be considered. In the era of intelligence, foreign language teaching should focus on cultivating students' multiple abilities, enabling them to make reasonable use of information technology, fully exert their critical thinking ability, and efficiently complete foreign language practice tasks.
