Abstract

This study explores the effect of employing the QuillBot AI application on Saudi EFL learners’ writing skills development. The study recruited 54 school students as participants; they were split into two groups: the experimental group (27 students) and the control group (27 students). The quasi-experimental design was used with the two groups; for each group, the pre- and post-tests were conducted before and after the intervention. For data analysis, the study used the SPSS package programme. The study results revealed that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups in favour of the experimental group, which implies a positive role of using QuillBot in enhancing the writing skills of Saudi EFL learners. The results of the study confirm that the QuillBot application is a necessary instrument for enhancing writing skills as it offers many useful features such as instant feedback, instant error correction, and suggestions of synonyms and sentence structure. Finally, the study made some recommendations for teachers and learners of EFL, including the incorporation of QuillBot and other AI applications in teaching and learning writing skills.
