Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) instruction on learners’ autonomy and writing proficiency in a university-level English program in Indonesia. Two intact classes of English students were involved in the study. They were in their second semester learning English Writing, a compulsory topic in their department. Within one semester, participants in the experiment group were trained with SRSD to improve their autonomous learning and writing proficiency. A comparison group learning the same topic without the SRSD training was also assigned. Data were gathered in two ways: a questionnaire for assessing learners’ autonomy and pretest and posttest writing tasks for assessing writing proficiency. Jamovi Software, an open-access statistical tool, was used to analyse the data. The results showed that the experiment groups' learning autonomy and writing proficiency improved significantly and outperformed the control group. The effect sizes of the analysis ranged from medium to large. The study’s results contribute to research and practice on EFL learners’ autonomy and writing development by strengthening claims regarding the relationship between SRSD instruction, autonomy, and writing proficiency.

Abstract

When encouraged to write, students struggle to explain the idea in words. Writing skills force EFL students to use their imaginations to tell narratives or express opinions. In order to include modern technology into English language instruction, innovative approaches, materials, tools, frameworks, and procedures must be used. Digital writing tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) have been shown through empirical studies to enhance students' written English competence. Specific technical instruments that could enhance students' writing are part of the use of AI and technology. This study used a library research methodology. Journals, books, papers, library research, theses, and proceeding journals were the sources of the information. The review claims that students may write academically in English more quickly and accurately by using a range of AI and technological tools. However, it becomes essential to integrate technology tools with the actual written skills of learners in order to effectively communicate the ideas. The purpose of tools is to assist, simplify tasks, and impart new knowledge to enable users write more academic English. In the end, by utilizing AI and technology, students can create academic English writing compositions that could help society as a whole while also developing their self-awareness, self-learning, and self-confidence.
