This research builds the system for evaluating English caption writing using language resources and language processing software. The system aims to handle the caption writing question type, one of the Toeic writing test. We intended to build intelligent system based on deep linguistic analytic knowledge concerning English caption sentences. In the first year, we approached the system using rule-based models. We gathered the error corpus, which contained both style and grammar errors and built rules to notify which rules are broken by writing exam takers and to express how rules are violated. We used Open Source LanugageTool. In the second year, we approached the evaluation system. We experimented a group of students. We gave them some pictures and made them some captions. We previously prepared some lists of answers corresponding pictures for the experiments and compared answer corpus. We compared a list of statistical comparing methods using logistic regression, finding out which method(s) is(are) appropriate for the test result.
