| dc.description.abstract | Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various fields, including education, by providing new methods to improve learning and enhance educational tasks. Hence, this dissertation investigates EFL learners’ and teachers’ perceptions of ChatGPT as a tool for enhancing writing skills at Mouloud Mammeri University. Relying on Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory (1962) as a theoretical framework, this study aims to achieve three objectives: first, to explore EFL students’ attitudes towards ChatGPT; second, to identify the benefits and challenges associated with its use for writing improvement; and third, to examine EFL teachers’ views on its integration into students’ writing processes. This exploratory research adopts a Mixed-Methods approach for data collection. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to thirty (30) randomly selected students, while qualitative insights were gathered via structured interviews with six (6) randomly selected teachers. The analysis of data included Descriptive Statistical Analysis for quantitative data, and Qualitative Content Analysis for qualitative data. Findings from the questionnaire indicate that the majority of students hold positive perceptions towards ChatGPT, finding it effective for improving their writing skills. From the results of the interviews, teachers expressed mixed views, with some acknowledging its benefits while others raised concerns about authenticity and productivity. In conclusion, while EFL students perceive ChatGPT as beneficial for improving writing skills, the differing teacher views illustrate the challenges of integrating AI in education. Future research should consider comparative and longterm studies to examine ChatGPT’s effectiveness across various levels of language proficiency and educational contexts. | |
