Evidence snapshot for Almaty

Write & Improve at SDU University — A Kazakhstani Classroom Trial of AI vs Teacher Writing Feedback documents a quasi-experimental study conducted at SDU University, a private university in Almaty, where 134 first-year English teacher-training students (117 female, 17 male) received either AI feedback via Cambridge's Write & Improve platform or traditional teacher feedback on IELTS-style writing tasks over five weeks from October to November 2024. The study found no statistically significant difference in learning outcomes between AI and teacher feedback across the four writing dimensions assessed (task achievement, coherence, lexical resource, and grammar/accuracy). This evidence is limited to a single institution and does not address broader patterns about Almaty itself.
