THE IMPACT OF AI GRAMMAR CORRECTION TOOLS ON ENHANCING STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILLS

The current research explores the impact of using Artificial intelligence grammar correction tools on enhancing students’ skills in Academic Writing especially ESL/EFL students. As a result of relying on the different means of technology in knowledge and education fields, applications like Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and QuillBot become very essential in academic writing. AI grammar correction tools provide an immediate correction for grammatical errors, stylistic suggestions, explanations at all levels of writing. Moreover, the research shows some view of literature and real studies evaluating the effectiveness of such tools on the various skills of academic writing, grammatical rules accuracy, learners’ reliance and motivation. In general, the results of several academic papers have revealed that the students using AI grammar correction tools show fewer grammatical errors and well- structured sentences. Additionally, presenting fast replies and interactive interfaces contributes highly to students’ confidence and motivation.

However, the researcher states the challenges and disadvantages of utilizing AI grammar correction tools. Conversely, issues such as over-reliance of students, ambiguous interpretations, and contextual errors raise questions about authentic language learning and critical thinking. Furthermore, ethical considerations are discussed, including data privacy and academic integrity. To achieve maximum benefit, students are motivated to use such tools as complementary sources rather than ready tools of writing.
