AI Chabot, ChatGPT Anxiety, Writing ELTAbstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, integrating innovative technologies can enhance the learning experience for students. ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language processing tool developed by OpenAI, offers exciting possibilities for teaching writing. This advanced AI model can be a powerful asset in the classroom, providing students with valuable resources and support as they develop their writing skills. Seventy-three college students participated in the quasi-experiment. The findings demonstrate that AI chatbot-based instruction reduces students' anxiety about learning English writing. AI chatbots offer instant feedback, allowing students to correct errors immediately. This quick feedback loop can prevent students from ruminating over their mistakes, thus reducing anxiety. With AI chatbot, students can learn at their own pace. They can take time to understand concepts, practice writing, and receive feedback without feeling rushed. This flexibility can alleviate the pressure of strict deadlines in traditional classroom settings. The findings imply teachers to implement chatbot-based learning in the classroom.
