Abstract

The field of computer-assisted language learning has recently brought about a notable change in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing. Starting from October 2022, students across different academic fields have increasingly depended on ChatGPT-4 as a helpful resource for addressing particular challenges in EFL writing. This study aimed to investigate the use and acceptance of ChatGPT-4 in students’ EFL writing. To this end, an experiment was conducted with 76 undergraduate students from a private school in Algeria. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: experimental group (n = 37) and control group (n = 39). Additionally, a questionnaire was administered. The results showed that the experimental group (EG) outperformed the control group (CG). Besides, the findings revealed that students in the EG in post-test outperformed their pre-test scores. The findings also revealed substantial improvements in the EG’s views of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes, and behavioral intention. According to the results, ChatGPT-4 helped boost students' EFL writing skills, which ultimately led to their acceptance. Students appear particularly interested in ChatGPT-4 because of its potential usefulness in putting what they learn about EFL writing into practice. Some suggestions and recommendations were provided.

将 ChatGPT-4 作为加强英语写作学习的创新方法的研究
计算机辅助语言学习领域最近给英语作为外语(EFL)的写作带来了显著的变化。从2022年10月开始,不同学术领域的学生越来越依赖ChatGPT-4,将其作为应对EFL写作中特殊挑战的有用资源。本研究旨在调查 ChatGPT-4 在学生 EFL 写作中的使用和接受情况。为此,研究人员对阿尔及利亚一所私立学校的 76 名本科生进行了实验。参与者被随机分为两组:实验组(37 人)和对照组(39 人)。此外,还进行了问卷调查。结果显示,实验组(EG)的成绩优于对照组(CG)。此外,研究结果还显示,实验组学生的后测成绩优于对照组学生的前测成绩。研究结果还显示,实验组学生在感知有用性、感知易用性、态度和行为意向等方面都有显著改善。结果表明,ChatGPT-4 有助于提高学生的 EFL 写作技能,并最终被学生所接受。学生们似乎对 ChatGPT-4 特别感兴趣,因为它可以帮助他们将所学的 EFL 写作知识付诸实践。会议还提出了一些意见和建议。

期刊介绍: The goal of this Journal is to provide an international scholarly publication forum for peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research into the applications, effects, and implications of computer-based education. The Journal features articles useful for practitioners and theorists alike. The terms "education" and "computing" are viewed broadly. “Education” refers to the use of computer-based technologies at all levels of the formal education system, business and industry, home-schooling, lifelong learning, and unintentional learning environments. “Computing” refers to all forms of computer applications and innovations - both hardware and software. For example, this could range from mobile and ubiquitous computing to immersive 3D simulations and games to computing-enhanced virtual learning environments.
