Abstract :
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been overgrown, and this has had a substantial impact on the educational, particularly in the context of developing writing skills. However, there have been debates on whether AI technology could be beneficial to students? learning or not and wether the AI technology is suitable for use as a learning medium or not. One way to see this issue is from the perspectives of the students. Hence, this study aims to analyze students' perspectives on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, specifically ChatGPT, in paragraph writing classes and to analyze the impact of ChatGPT usage on the writing ability of 4th-semester students. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through structured interviews and documentation. The research participants were 10 fourth-semester students of the English language education study program at Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang. The results show that the majority of students have a positive perspective on the use of ChatGPT in learning paragraph writing. Students consider ChatGPT useful (perceived usefulness) in terms of information completeness, energy saving, time saving, and providing beneficial information. They also perceive ChatGPT as easy to use (perceived ease of use) in terms of easy navigation, quick response, good and fitting interface, and accessibility anywhere and anytime. The use of ChatGPT in paragraph writing classes have a positive impact on students' speed, creativity, quality and engagement in writing. This is evident from the students' average mid-term exam score of 79.1. These positive impacts include increasing speed in producing writing, increasing creativity through providing new ideas, input and suggestions that help improve writing skills, as well as increasing student involvement in the writing process, resulting in more focused and structured student writing. However, its use must be balanced with the development of basic writing skills and in-depth understanding of the topic by students, and for further research, it is expected to conduct more thorough research regarding the long-term impact of using ChatGPT in English language learning and can focus on potential weaknesses or limitations of AI in language learning to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its impact.
