Description
ABSTRACT
This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and interactive platforms as "digital scaffolding" to enhance English writing skills for Grade 6 students in the disadvantaged context of Chu Puh Commune, Gia Lai Province. Following the Global Success curriculum, 120 students and 5 teachers participated in an 8-week action research cycle consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The pedagogical framework utilizes AI-driven tools (Gemini/ChatGPT) for brainstorming and linguistic proofing, combined with multimodal platforms like Canva and Padlet to foster a process-oriented and collaborative writing environment. Data triangulated from pre- and post-tests, student questionnaires, and teacher journals indicate significant improvements in students' writing performance, particularly in lexical diversity and structural organization. More importantly, the findings reveal a substantial reduction in writing anxiety and a boost in learners' confidence and digital literacy. This research confirms the feasibility of low-cost digital transformation in rural education and proposes a practical model for personalized language instruction in the central highlands of Vietnam.
