Abstract

With its current developments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started to influence how teachers teach and how students learn, including the ones in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. However, there have been debates on whether AI could be beneficial to students’ learning or not. One way to see this issue is from the perspectives of the students. Hence, this study aimed at investigating how students perceive the use of AI in their learning. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 8 EFL students in a university in Indonesia who had the experience with the use of an AI app in their writing class. The results showed that the students had positive perceptions towards the use of the AI app. The students enjoyed the learning, and the AI app helped the students in their writing. Moreover, this study also suggests that there are also several things to consider when integrating AI in writing classes.
