Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI), namely ChatGPT, for educational purposes. However, EFL students' insights of the ethical use of using ChatGPT in academic writing remain unexplored. The purpose of this study is to reveal the EFL students' perspectives on the ethical use of Chat GPT in academic writing. Data were obtained from 54 EFL students who have taken academic writing course by using a Likert Scale questionnaire, with a focus on ethical issues such as plagiarism, academic integrity, over-reliance on ChatGPT, data biases, and unclear guidelines. The findings show that students significantly concerns about the ethical use of ChatGPT, though a small number remain unaware of these issues. The study recommends incorporating ethical education regarding ChatGPT into academic curricula. Lecturers or teachers should focus on helping students understand the ethical challenges related to the application of ChatGPT, such as plagiarism and bias. Additionally, clear guidelines for ChatGPT use in academic writing should be established to promote academic integrity and responsible ChatGPT use.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL students in academic writing, specifically the errors they made while writing scholarship application essays. The study focused on identifying syntactical and morphological errors and understanding their sources and reasons. The data consisted of 20 essays from third-semester students in an academic writing course at a private Indonesian university. Two English language lecturers reviewed the essays twice to identify the errors. The findings revealed that syntactic errors were the most common, with 132 instances (61.69%), followed by punctuation and capitalization errors with 50 instances (23.37%), and morphological errors were the least frequent with 32 instances (14.94%). Interlingual, or native language interference, was found to be the primary source of these errors. The main factor of making errors is the lack of previous experience and knowledge about the conventions of academic writing and the expectations of the institution they are studying at. This study offers teaching recommendations for EFL teachers, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of learners' native language besides providing appropriate grammar instruction as the key to effective teaching for ESL teachers.
