<![CDATA[This study examined the effectiveness of AI-assisted grammar exercises in improving students' grammar skills in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context within the Form-Focused Instruction (FFI) framework. Ten tenth-grade students were assigned to two existing groups based on their classes, and the study used a quantitative quasi-experimental design, conducted at SMA in Tangerang. Five students were in the AI-assisted group (MIPA 1), while the other five students were in the worksheet-based group (IPS 1). After specific grammar instruction on basic tenses, such as the present simple, past simple, and future simple, both groups engaged in various practice exercises. Ten multiple-choice questions were administered as pre- and post-tests to evaluate students' progress. Based on the data, both groups showed noticeable improvement. The worksheet-based group's average score increased from 56 to 84 (a 28-point increase), while the AI-assisted group's score increased from 60 to 92 (a 32-point increase). These results indicate that both teaching approaches improve grammar competence; However, AI-assisted training resulted in slightly greater progress, possibly due to its interactive nature and instant feedback. This study demonstrates the potential of integrating AI technology into FFI principles to enhance grammar teaching in EFL classrooms.]]>
