ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-ASSISTED TOOLS

ENLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has gained global attention redefining teaching-learning in ways never been seen before. Though it sounds compelling, a retrospection regarding AI’s effective use in academic writing continue to stir a crucial issue in the field of language learning. In fact, writing remains an intricate skill that has been challenging high school students despite AI’s overwhelming breakthrough. Thus, this quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of AI-assisted tools in enhancing the English writing proficiency of 32 high school students who participated in the National Learning Camp program at Gabi National High School. As reflected in the paired T-test results, the respondents’ writing proficiency level significantly improved from near mastery to mastery level. The increased proficiency level among students amplifies AI’s transformative potential in enhancing English writing skills. It appears that AI’s positive impact in addressing student’s common writing mistakes is completely undeniable. Besides, students were not only able to produce more accurate and coherent written outputs but also demonstrated greater awareness on writing conventions which leads to a confident use of English language. Most of all, the immediate and personalized feedback offered by AI technology has reduced students’ dependence on teacher intervention, fostering independent learning and a deeper understanding of the writing mechanics. Therefore, it is imperative to integrate AI-assisted tools in the basic education curriculum providing students a new opportunity to improve their writing skills equipping them to navigate the challenges of the modern world.
