description.abstract:
This study examines the potential of ChatGPT to enhance grammar development in an academic writing context, where grammar instruction is often overlooked. Adopting a qualitative case study, this research explores how a localized version of ChatGPT can assist first-year undergraduate students in improving their grammar in writing tasks. The study aims to assess ChatGPT's effectiveness in grammar acquisition, students' perceptions of its use, and pedagogical implications. Results indicate that ChatGPT positively promotes grammar proficiency and learning experience, emphasizing importance of active grammar learning strategies and teacher guidance for proper utilization. Ultimately, the study underscores the potential of AI tools in preparing students to effectively navigate and maximize future language learning opportunities.
