Abstract:
This study aimed to assess whether the use of QuillBot enhanced the academic
writing skills of EFL learners in the English Education Department at
Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara. Pre-experimental design was
implemented in this research. The participants in the research were selected
from a class of 20 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners who had
recently completed their academic writing classes the previous semester. Data
from the pre-test and post-test was collected and a t-test was used for analyses
using SPSS 29.0 version. This test consisted of an academic writing test about
things that transpired in the educational sphere. The pre-test score reached123,
while the post-test score was 285. The data demonstrates that the t-test result
was 56.53. The significance level of a = 0.05. The results determinedthat Sig
(2-tailed) 0.000 is the probability value for the pre-test and post-test data for the
EFL academic writing performance by using QuillBot. H0 is rejected since the
probability (Sig.) 0.000 < 0.05. Furthermore, the results strongly indicate that
QuillBot has greatly enhanced EFL learners' academic writing skills.
