THE ROLE OF AI AND AUTOMATED SCORING IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TESTS
Abstract
This paper explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated scoring systems in English proficiency tests. AI technologies are not only being used to create test assignments, but also to analyze and evaluate responses. Automated scoring systems serve to reduce human errors, speed up the grading process, and increase fairness. The article also analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of AI-based systems, their impact on the reliability of test results, and prospects for evaluating English tests in the future.
