Writing skills are essential for academic and professional success. However, many students struggle to become proficient writers, highlighting the need for effective writing instruction and feedback methods. Automated Writing Evaluation (AWS) systems have emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges. This study proposes a model that utilizes fine-tuned language models to evaluate essay structure, specifically identifying key argumentative and rhetorical elements. The Longformer and Bigbird models were fine-tuned and evaluated for discourse classification. The results demonstrate that the Longformer model outperformed the Bigbird model, achieving an F1 score of 0.634 compared to 0.615. The Longformer model's ability to handle large data inputs without losing vital information contributed to its superior performance. Integrating machine learning models with AWE systems can enhance automated essay evaluation, providing valuable feedback to students. While positional encoding improves discourse classification, future research should focus on expanding data coverage across additional essay categories. This study highlights the significance of leveraging advanced NLP techniques to improve writing skills and lays the foundation for further advancements in automated essay evaluation systems.
