EFL Learners' Views About the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Giving Corrective Feedback on Writing

Abstract

This chapter presents a qualitative study the aim of which is to explore EFL learners' views about the use of artificial intelligence for giving corrective feedback on their written works. Artificial intelligence use was addressed through one of recent and popular chatbots: ChatGPT. The data were gathered through semi-structured and stimulated-recall interviews, also videorecording of the participants' ChatGPT use for writing feedback. In the interviews, the participants reflected on their individualized language studies, and also having practiced the use of artificial intelligence in receiving corrective feedback on their writing assignments via ChatGPT for five weeks, they expressed their thoughts about this experience. The findings indicated codes and themes about learner characteristics and preferences, and benefits and pitfalls of artificial intelligence use for corrective feedback, which leads to several language teaching implications specifically concerning writing to be proposed in the chapter.
