Luansing (2023)
updated ideas ... in the way that
human often do
Careless adoption or

 AI helps in ...

Generating
topics
 brainstorming ideas
expanding ideas,
creating sample
outlines,
generating some
useful lexical
resources or
structures on the
topics
Luansing (2023)
brainstorming ideas blindly copy AI-generated
structures

modify the content:

selecting the most
prominent ones for
analysis,
adding their own
innovative ideas to suit
their needs,
using their own words,
and rearranging them for
preferred coherence, ...
 Researching Various Topics

Google AI-based tools

millions of relevant concise explanation

to the queries on the
results-> make the topics -> better
users overwhelmed, not understanding, and
knowing which ones to helps get ideas
choose flowing
Luansing (2023)
Researching Various Topics
Remind students to...

double-check for the reliability of

facts,
detect plagiarized content or old-
fashioned information,
always try to update themselves
with the latest knowledge on all
aspects of life
 detect any errors relating
to grammar, spelling,
Revising drafts punctuation, and syntax of
a student's written work

suggest alternative phrases

or words -> adding to the
diversity of the text

(Chat AI, 2023)

 identifying redundancies,
Revising drafts incoherence,
inconsistencies, lack of
unity, and other issues

adhere and adapt to

appropriate writing
conventions

(Chat AI, 2023)

 Revising drafts

Students cannot just send requests

to AI and only wait for the final
output from it...
- Ss have to write their own
papers
-> opt for AI tools to refine
their drafts
-> otherwise run into trouble
with their ability and identity
later
 Detecting
plagiarism
“discrete forms of
plagiarism”: -> paraphrase the areas
“copy-pasting that may cause trouble
translated text”, -> originality and
“AI-generated validity of papers
pieces”
Luansing (2023)
Ask Ss to submit both:
the draft paper
the revised paper
 Conclusion
AI-powered writing tools: an invaluable resource for educators
and students >> increase learners’ autonomy while improving
their writing skills in English

With the right and responsible

adoption of AI >> significant
development in students’ skills >>
help students become better writers
and communicators
