Marta Cecilia Álvarez Peña, Vicente Javier Coello Vásquez, Yanina Del Rocio Carbo Silva, María José Sandoval Pérez

Resumen


This study explores the use of ChatGPT as a tool for enhancing EFL learners' writing skills by providing immediate and detailed feedback. The research identifies common errors in essay writing, including grammatical, structural, and organizational issues, and evaluates the impact of ChatGPT feedback on reducing these errors. A mixed-methods approach was employed with 50 university students at an intermediate English level. Results showed a significant reduction in errors after using ChatGPT, supported by a paired-sample t-test. Participants reported positive perceptions of ChatGPT's ease of use, usefulness, and clarity in error identification and feedback. The findings highlight ChatGPT's potential as a complementary resource for improving written communication and developing learners' confidence and motivation.
