This exploratory qualitative study aims to explore the ChatGPT use of Van-Lang-University graduate students in a research writing course and the cognitive levels of their reactions to its responses. The data was collected from observations and interviews with twelve Vietnamese graduate students studying in a research writing class at this…

Teacher feedback has been reported to be challenging for learners to understand and use productively in revising their writing, especially when it is provided in a monologic manner. There have thus been calls for teachers to ensure feedback is more 'dialogic' or 'interactive', encouraging students to become active respondents to feedback rather…

Automated writing evaluation (AWE) has been frequently used to provide feedback on student writing. Many empirical studies have examined the effectiveness of AWE on writing quality, but the results were inconclusive. Thus, the magnitude of AWE's overall effect and factors influencing its effectiveness across studies remained unclear. This study…

Aim/Purpose: The present study explores the use of AI-powered ChatGPT as a feedback tool for automated writing evaluation in a higher education context. Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in the field of education, offering new opportunities with its evolving capabilities. One area where AI tools have promising…
