Abstract—The application of artificial intelligence has benefited vocational English writing courses but still lacks the capacity to dispose of contextual challenges. This study compared the effectiveness of two teaching methods in a vocational English writing course. A teaching method that combines intelligent evaluation and peer review was applied for the experimental group, while the control group adopted intelligent evaluation and conventional discussion. In this study, a quasi-experimental research method was used. Scores of students’ essays as well as the quality of the content were examined. The results exhibited that the experimental group showed greater improvement than the control group. Thus, the designed teaching method provides a valuable method for English writing courses in vocational education.
