THE ROLE OF AI-GENERATED FEEDBACK IN INCREASING LEARNERS' MOTIVATION IN ENGLISH WRITING PRACTICE

This study explores the role of feedback generated by artificial intelligence in increasing students' motivation to write texts in English in the context of EFL (English as a foreign language). With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, tools such as automated grammar checking and GPT-based systems have become widely used in language learning. However, their impact on student motivation remains poorly understood, especially in the context of Kazakhstan. This study used a quasi-experimental approach, which involved two groups of students studying English at the university level: an experimental group that received feedback using artificial intelligence, and a control group that received traditional training. Students' motivation and written performance were measured using pre- and post-test questionnaires and written assignments. The results showed that the students who received feedback generated by artificial intelligence demonstrated a significantly higher level of motivation and significantly improved their writing skills compared to the control group.
