In writing English texts, grammatical errors are a problem that is always faced by writers. Not to mention other writing errors such as typos, punctuation, and capitalization can also be done by writers. Therefore, the Grammarly application was created to overcome this problem. This study aims to find out how Grammarly helps tertiary-level students in their online Writing Classes. The participants of this study were 78 students studying in an English Language Education study program. A questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument by adopting and adapting closed-ended questions from Hakiki's research (2021) and adding open-ended questions to find out the respondent's perceptions about the use of Grammarly in their online Writing activities. The findings of this study show the majority of respondents perceived Grammarly as a very helpful writing tool. Grammarly helps them by providing vocabulary and grammar suggestions to avoid language errors in their writing, providing mechanics corrections to help them revise their writing errors, and providing plagiarism checkers for premium users.

“…The results in the present study also suggest that students with lower confidence in academic writing were more likely to use GAI technologies.

The aim of this project was to understand student perspectives on generative artificial intelligence (GAI) technologies such as Chat generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), in order to inform changes to the University of Liverpool Academic Integrity code of practice. The survey for this study was created by a library student team and vetted through focus groups. A total of 2555 students participated in the survey. Results showed that only 7% of students who responded had not heard of any GAI technologies, whilst over half had used or considered using these for academic purposes. The majority of students (54.1%) were supportive or somewhat supportive of using tools such as Grammarly, but 70.4% were unsupportive or somewhat unsupportive towards students using tools such as ChatGPT to write their whole essay. Students who had higher levels of confidence in their academic writing were less likely to use or consider using them for academic purposes, and were also less likely to be supportive of other students using them. Most students (41.1%) also thought there should be a university wide policy on when these technologies are or are not appropriate to use. The results of this research suggest that students require clear policies on the use of GAI and that these technologies should not be banned from university, but consideration must be made to ensure different groups of students have equal access to the technologies.
