摘要

尽管人工智能（AI）在第二语言教育中的使用越来越多，但有限的研究探讨了它对学习者任务参与的影响，特别是在写作任务中。本研究探讨了在两个月的教学期间，使用基于生成人工智能的工具，即ChatGPT，在影响60名本科学习者在英语作为外语（EFL）环境下的英语议论文写作中的作用。该研究采用混合方法的实验设计，分析了来自对照组和实验组的定量数据，以及来自参与者访谈的定性见解。研究结果显示，使用ChatGPT的学习者在英语论文写作任务中表现出更高的参与度。定性分析指出了几个主题，包括增加动机、减少焦虑、增强兴趣、伙伴关系、个性化反馈和感知能力。总的来说，研究结果表明，ChatGPT可以作为一种有效的教学工具，提高学习者的英语写作参与度。虽然ChatGPT促进了参与，但该研究强调了平衡人工智能集成以支持独立批判性思维的必要性。这些发现为第二语言教育者、课程设计者和政策制定者提供了见解。

Generative AI and English essay writing: exploring the role of ChatGPT in enhancing learners’ task engagement

Despite the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in L2 education, limited research has explored its impact on learners’ task engagement, specifically in writing tasks. This study explored the role of using generative AI-based tools, namely ChatGPT, in influencing 60 undergraduate learners’ engagement in English argumentative essay writing within an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context over a 2-month instructional period. Using a mixed-methods experimental design, the study analyzed quantitative data from control and experimental groups alongside qualitative insights from participant interviews. Findings revealed that learners using ChatGPT demonstrated significantly higher engagement levels during English essay writing tasks. Qualitative analysis pointed to several themes, including increased motivation, reduced anxiety, enhanced interest, partnership, personalized feedback, and perceived competence. Overall, the findings suggest that ChatGPT can be an effective instructional tool for enhancing learners’ engagement in writing English essays. While ChatGPT fosters engagement, the study underscores the need for balanced AI integration to support independent critical thinking. These findings offer insights for L2 educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers.

期刊介绍： Applied Linguistics publishes research into language with relevance to real-world problems. The journal is keen to help make connections between fields, theories, research methods, and scholarly discourses, and welcomes contributions which critically reflect on current practices in applied linguistic research. It promotes scholarly and scientific discussion of issues that unite or divide scholars in applied linguistics. It is less interested in the ad hoc solution of particular problems and more interested in the handling of problems in a principled way by reference to theoretical studies.
