This study thoroughly examines the impact of AI-assisted applications, such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and QuillBot, on the writing abilities of English majors at Thu Dau Mot University. Its primary aim is to assess how these technologies affect students' English writing accuracy, coherence, and fluency.
Utilizing a quantitative research framework, the study gathered data through questionnaires and surveys administered to 110 third- and fourth-year English Language students. The findings reveal that AI-assisted applications significantly enhance students' writing accuracy through effective automated grammar checking, improve coherence through organized idea presentation, and promote fluency by suggesting appropriate phrases and paraphrasing alternatives.
Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge the potential drawbacks of these technologies, including the risk of overreliance on AI, possible effects on critical thinking skills, and the occasional presence of inaccuracies. The study highlights the necessity for careful integration of AI tools, advocating for their use as supplements to traditional teaching methods rather than as replacements. Ultimately, the findings support a balanced approach that combines AI technologies with active teacher involvement to foster independent and proficient writing skills among students.
