초록

This study explored the perceptions of Korean university students studying English as a foreign language (EFL) after using the AI chatbot tool ChatGPT in an advanced writing class for one semester. A questionnaire was used to collect data from students about three learner variables (being comfortable in completing a task, being motivated to complete a task, and being confident that they can complete a task). The questionnaire also asked students if they felt their learning experience was improved by using AI tools (as opposed to classes taught only using traditional methods) and if they thought a blended method using both AI tools and traditional methods was preferable to one using strictly one or the other. The results showed that students were much more comfortable writing in English with the assistance of AI writing tools, that they felt less anxiety while completing tasks with the assistance of AI writing tools, and that they felt more confident when writing in English with the assistance of AI writing tools. They also indicated that using AI writing tools in the classroom was preferable to classes taught only in the traditional method, and that classes using a blended method were preferable to those taught using strictly AI tools or traditional methods alone.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of Korean university students studying English as a foreign language (EFL) after using the AI chatbot tool ChatGPT in an advanced writing class for one semester.

The questionnaire also asked students if they felt their learning experience was improved by using AI tools (as opposed to classes taught only using traditional methods) and if they thought a blended method using both AI tools and traditional methods was preferable to one using strictly one or the other. The results showed that students were much more comfortable writing in English with the assistance of AI writing tools, that they felt less anxiety while completing tasks with the assistance of AI writing tools, and that they felt more confident when writing in English with the assistance of AI writing tools. They also indicated that using AI writing tools in the classroom was preferable to classes taught only in the traditional method, and that classes using a blended method were preferable to those taught using strictly AI tools or traditional methods alone.
