Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The intrusion of technology into language education is undeniable. However, its impact on English as a Second Language (ESL) learners remains unexplored. This study explores how the text-processing and suggestion features of Microsoft Word affect the English language development of ESL learners. The writing samples show that while beginners make fewer spelling and punctuation errors, prolonged reliance on software weakens long-term language proficiency. This finding is supported by cluster analysis of first-year undergraduates, third-year undergraduates, and postgraduates. Conversely, first-year undergraduates learners excel in structuring paragraphs and writing a variety of sentences, which are the areas untouched by automation offered in the tested software. Semi-structured interviews with research-active academics and postgraduate students further validated these findings, highlighting a critical decline in writing confidence due to over-dependence on emerging technology. The study underscores the hidden costs of convenience, urging a recalibration of technology-integrated language pedagogy.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
