| dc.description.abstract | In the digital age, rapid technological advancements have introduced various
Artificial Intelligence (AI), significantly influencing education, particularly
in language learning. This study focuses on ChatGPT, a Natural Language
Processing model developed by OpenAI, exploring its transformative
potential in language generation tasks, including writing. Ethical
considerations in AI development, emphasized by organizations like
OpenAI, are crucial for responsible deployment. ChatGPT promises to
modernize language learning, particularly in English as a Foreign Language
(EFL) context, by aiding learners in writing tasks. Writing skills are
essential for language proficiency, encompassing cognitive, emotional, and
social dimensions. The integration of AI in language learning not only
enhances writing proficiency but also fosters creativity and critical thinking.
However, student perceptions of AI tools like ChatGPT vary, with concerns
about creativity hindrance and reliance on technology. Employing a mixed
methods approach, this study investigates EFL students' perceptions of
ChatGPT's impact on writing skills, revealing predominantly positive
responses alongside challenges such as internet connectivity issues and
reliance on paid versions. Overall, ChatGPT offers opportunities to enhance
writing skills, although ethical deployment and user dependency
considerations are paramount. | id_ID |
