摘要

本研究试图探讨 ChatGPT 对 EFL 学习者英语写作的影响以及如何从中受益。三个研究目标分别是：探讨 EFL 学习者选择使用 ChatGPT 进行学术英语写作的原因；研究 ChatGPT 如何影响 EFL 学习者的学术英语写作；界定 EFL 学习者使用 ChatGPT 作为学术英语写作工具所面临的挑战和机遇。本研究采用半结构式和开放式访谈收集定性数据。通过主题分析，我们发现 EFL 学习者使用 ChatGPT 进行学术英语写作，因为它既方便又能满足他们的需求。同时，由于 ChatGPT 在写作流畅性、内容和知识等方面为学习者的读写能力提供了支架，因此也为他们提供了帮助。学习者面临的挑战包括1) 由于过度依赖 ChatGPT 提供的信息，可能会出现学术剽窃和缺乏批判性思维的情况；2) 在英语占主导地位的背景下，英语学术写作中的偏见和支付压力；3) 考虑和审查学术背景下产生的信息的真实性。ChatGPT 的易用性和高效性毋庸置疑，它已成为语言学习和学术写作领域的革命性工具。然而，英语学习者在使用这一人工智能工具时，尤其是在学术写作方面，应当谨慎和反思。

The impact of ChatGPT on learners in English academic writing: opportunities and challenges in education

This study attempts to explore the impact of ChatGPT on EFL learners’ English writing and how this benefits from it. The three research objectives are to explore the reasons why EFL learners choose to use ChatGPT for their academic English writing, to examine how it affects EFL learners’ academic English writing and define the challenges and opportunities for EFL learners using ChatGPT as an academic English writing tool. This study employed semi-structured and open-ended interviews to collect qualitative data. By thematic analysis, we found that EFL learners use ChatGPT for their academic English writing as it is convenient and caters to their needs. It also assists them since it scaffolds literacy in terms of writing fluency, content, and knowledge. Challenges for learners include: 1) possible academic plagiarism and a lack of critical thinking due to their over-reliance on the information provided by ChatGPT; 2) bias in English academic writing from the English-dominant context and pressure to pay; 3) considering and scrutinizing the authenticity of information generated in academic contexts. With its ease of use and undeniable efficiency, ChatGPT has emerged as a revolutionary tool in the realm of language learning and academic writing. However, English learners should be cautious and reflect on using this AI tool, especially for academic writing purposes.
