ABSTRACT

This empirical study explores the impact of ChatGPT on writing proficiency among Chinese EFL learners. Using a qualitative case study approach, three Chinese undergraduate students participated in semi-structured interviews to provide in-depth insights into their experiences with ChatGPT. It addresses two research questions: First, the features of ChatGPT that contribute to improving writing proficiency include helping students think deeply, grammar and spelling check, vocabulary and expression, logical structure and paragraph organization. Second, the impact of ChatGPT on students' writing is significant, leading to better composition structure, more details and improved composition logic, as well as diverse word choice. The findings suggest that integrating ChatGPT into writing instruction can effectively enhance students' writing outcome.
