The TOEFL program uses the e-rater automated scoring engine in a limited andresponsible way for the Writing section
Independent Writing task one human rater + one automated rating
Integrated Writing task
one human rater + one automated rating
Combines the judgment of humans for content
and meaning and the consistency of automatedscoring for linguistic features

Measures the mechanical aspects of writing sufficiently,but content is measured only at a basic level
The kinds of test questions designed only for automatedscoring are more coachable and promote rote learning,not practice of real communication skills
Repeat a sentence out loud Read a sentence out loud
At present, no automated scoring engine can evaluatecontent and meaning at the sophisticated level tested by
theTOEFL iBT
writing tasks without also having thecontributions of a human scorer
