Abstract

This systematic literature review investigates the role and effectiveness of ChatGPT in assessing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ writing performance. Guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework, 26 peer-reviewed empirical and conceptual studies published between 2022 and 2025 were analyzed. The findings reveal that ChatGPT has been leveraged across multiple assessment functions, including automated writing evaluation, corrective feedback, peer review simulation, rubric-based scoring, and prewriting support. ChatGPT demonstrates significant promise in formative assessment contexts, offering feedback comparable in quantity and breadth to human teachers, particularly on surface-level writing features such as grammar, organization, and vocabulary. However, its performance in summative assessment remains limited due to inconsistencies with human judgment and difficulties in evaluating higher-order writing skills, such as argumentation and style. Furthermore, while ChatGPT fosters learner engagement and confidence, concerns persist regarding equity, fairness, and the authenticity of feedback for diverse learner populations. The study underscores the need for rubric standardization, pedagogical integration, and longitudinal research to ensure ethical and effective implementation. Ultimately, ChatGPT is most impactful when used to complement, rather than replace, human expertise in writing assessment.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the forms of academic dishonesty and identify the factors that encourage academic dishonesty behavior among students majoring in English education at an Islamic university in Pekanbaru. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Participants in this study were sixth-semester students selected through purposive sampling techniques. In data collection, the researcher used closed questionnaires and interviews. The results of the study showed six main forms of academic dishonesty that are often carried out by EFL learning students, namely cheating on exams, plagiarism, outside help, prior cheating, falsification, and lying about academic assignments. These behaviors are driven by three main factors: academic pressure, opportunities to cheat, and rationalization of academic dishonesty. In conclusion, academic cheating behavior still occurs among EFL learner students with the most frequent form of academic dishonesty being falsification caused by several factors such as pressure, opportunity and rationalization. The findings are expected to raise student awareness and serve as a basis for lecturers and institutions to design prevention strategies. Future studies should focus on concrete solutions to prevent academic dishonesty in universities.
