AI Marking for English Teachers

Extended writing is the single biggest source of marking burden for English teachers. AI marking is changing that without removing the professional judgement that defines good English teaching.

The unique challenge of marking extended writing

English marking involves holistic judgement across AOs. Consistency is a major challenge — even experienced English teachers can award marks that vary by one or two bands for the same piece of writing.

How AI handles AO-based English marking

• AO1, AO2, AO3 (and AO4/AO5 where applicable) assessed individually
• Embedded quotations identified and evaluated for effectiveness
• Analytical language recognised — suggests, implies, conveys, symbolises
• Band descriptors applied consistently — no Friday afternoon drift
