Revolutionizing Academic English Writing through AI-Powered Pedagogy: Practical Exploration of Teaching Process and Assessment

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various fields, including education. This study aims to explore the practical implementation of AI-powered pedagogy in the teaching of academic English writing. Specifically, the study examines the impact of an AI-powered writing tool on the teaching process and assessment in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom setting. A pre-test/post-test experimental design was employed to measure the effectiveness of the tool on students' writing skills. Results showed that the AI-powered writing tool positively impacted students' writing proficiency, as evidenced by significant improvements in writing scores from the pre-test to the post-test. In addition, the tool was found to enhance the teaching process by providing timely and individualized feedback, promoting student engagement, and increasing efficiency in grading. The findings highlight the potential of AI-powered pedagogy in transforming traditional English writing teaching and offer practical implications for teachers, students, and educational technology developers.
