Abstract

ChatGPT, a freely available artificial intelligence tool launched in 2022, boasts powerful text processing and interaction capabilities due to its hundreds of millions of parameters. This study delves into the application of ChatGPT for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) writing among second language (L2) students through engagement with the ChatGPT. Notable findings include its capacity to provide prompt feedback on EAP writing, facilitate EAP vocabulary development, generate EAP writing ideas, and assist in instant writing feedback, all while bolstering students’ confidence. The paper also addresses the limitations and necessary precautions for L2 students utilizing ChatGPT and suggests avenues for future research in this domain.
