Exploring Application of Grammarly to English Speech Draft Writing: Opportunities, Challenges, and Recommendations

This paper critically examines the efficacy of Grammarly, an AI-driven writing tool, in facilitating the English speech drafting process among college students. Employing a descriptive qualitative research methodology, the study rigorously assesses the impact of Grammarly on student performance metrics. Findings reveal a substantive enhancement in average test scores, escalating from 53 to 86 out of 100 subsequent to Grammarly integration. Nonetheless, discernible challenges persist across lexical, syntactic, and segmental dimensions. Consequently, this paper engages in a nuanced discussion, offering recommendations to address these inherent limitations, thereby fostering an informed utilization of Grammarly within the pedagogical landscape of English writing.
