Abstract
ChatGPT, a revolutionary online application, has caused significant concern in the education sector. Being among the most heavily dependent on writing tests, foreign language teachers were among the most concerned, and their anxiety was impacted by media attention to the chatbot’s much-hyped functionality. Learning using chatbots is a significant technological invention that bridges the gap between technology and education. The purpose of this research was to investigate how AI chatbots improved students’ motivation to learn English writing. The quasi-experiment was conducted on 73 college students. The results show that AI chatbot-based learning enhances the development of students’ motivation for learning English writing. AI chatbots can provide more detailed and comprehensive feedback to students than a teacher might be able to provide on their own. This can help students better understand their strengths and weaknesses and make more targeted improvements. The implications of the findings can help instructors to incorporate chatbot-based learning in the classroom.
