Abstract

There has been a noticeable interest in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at education field over the last couple of years. The current study aimed to examine the impact of AI, notably ChatGPT, on EFL writing skills among high school students. The study employed a pre-post test design, with intermediate-level EFL students (aged 14-16) engaging with ChatGPT over an eight-week intervention. The study took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The results, including paired-sample t-tests, showed improvements in most writing skills, task achievement (mean score increase from 3.0 to 5.2), coherence and cohesion (mean score increase from 3.2 to 5.0), and lexical resource (mean score increase from 3.0 to 4.4). Surprisingly, grammatical range and accuracy exhibited a mean score decrease from 3.0 to 2.9, signaling the need for deeper investigation. Overall writing skill significantly improved, as evidenced by the mean score increase from 12.3 to 17.4. Validating ChatGPT's evaluative function, over 90% agreement was found when compared to assessments by expert English teachers. These findings endorse the incorporation of AI in EFL curricula, highlighting both the potential and the necessity for an integrated pedagogical approach.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
