One way to help students overcome these challenges is self-correction, which allows them to find and fix their own mistakes.

Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that Ginger Software helps students improve grammar accuracy, sentence structure, and writing efficiency. Features like grammar checker, spell checker, and sentence rephrasing support students in recognizing and correcting their mistakes independently.
