This phenomenological case study involved 20 sixth-semester students majoring in English Education as the participants. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to all of the participants and face-to-face interviews with five participants who were purposefully selected based on their responses to the questions in the online questionnaire. The results of the data analysis reveal that the students exhibited positive responses toward the utilization of QuillBot in academic writing. Furthermore, they also find QuillBot beneficial for three reasons; first, it helps improve the content or argument; second, it minimizes grammatical errors, and third, it enhances the language used in their manuscripts. It could be concluded that integrating artificial intelligence such as online paraphrasing tools helps EFL students overcome some difficulties encountered in writing academic papers, and consequently improve their writing products.This study implies that the use of AI-based technology in language classrooms would be advantageous in a variety of ways; however, further research is required to determine the relative importance of each element regarding students' use of the AI-based paraphrasing tool, particularly QuillBot.

This study attempts to portray the level of EFL reading comprehension in a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. The participants were 78 EFL learners who were registered in the academic year 2020-2021. The data were collected through administering a set of adapted reading test and calculated based on the indicator of the scoring system and criteria. These data were classified into each level of reading comprehension which is described in the form of percentage and presented through diagram and chart. The major findings of this study reveal that. 1) there were 77 or (99%) participants can complete most of the literal test items and they just achieved literal level of comprehension of reading skill. 2) there were 24 or (31%) participants were able to answer all inferential test items successfully and they just reach inferential level of reading comprehension. 3) there were 19 or (24%) participants can give their answer critically and they just obtained a critical level of reading comprehension. It is interpreted that numerous students were still in the position of the literal level which is regarded as a very low or basic level of reading comprehension. So, it is strongly recommended that EFL learners at Universitas Jambi require an intensive practice of reading to achieve a highest level of reading comprehension.","PeriodicalId":229988,"journal":{"name":"Scope : Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127199190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
