Doing correction work in a new way: AI tools for responding to teacher feedback

   Introduction. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the educational process is expanding, particularly in teaching English writing. Despite this growth, there remains a need for deeper exploration into how AI can enhance the effectiveness of teacher feedback received by students on their written works.

   This study aims to investigate collaborative approaches between teacher and students to improve the quality of learners’ response to the feedback with the help of AI tools.

   The relevance of this research lies in advancing emerging educational trends and identifying ethical and responsible ways to incorporate AI into pedagogical practices.

   Materials and methods. An analytical approach was employed to examine theoretical and empirical literature on the topic. Through comparative analysis of classical feedback models, an expanded framework incorporating AI-driven responses was developed. Additionally, a phenomenological method facilitated the synthesis and organization of the authors’ pedagogical experiences, resulting in the design of an algorithm intended to optimize the management of students’ responses to teacher-provided feedback.

   Results. The study produced a novel feedback response model that integrates AI tools as a key component. Alongside this, a practical algorithm for applying the model in the context of written assignments – such as essays – was proposed. The model emphasizes the crucial role of teacher-led pedagogical support to personalize the learning experience and enhance student engagement.

   Discussion and conclusions. An enriched educational dialogue can contribute to a new level of students’ feedback "literacy" in interpreting and utilizing teacher commentary on the written tasks. The proposed teacher – student – AI – student – teacher feedback model, if used competently and ethically, can strengthen collaboration between teachers and learners, increasing the effectiveness of enhancing English writing skills.
