Abstract:
This study investigates learners’ perspectives on the use of culturally responsive
teaching integrated with AI application to elevate their writing proficiency. This
research employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing quantitative and qualitative
approaches. Fifteen English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students from SMA N
10 Medan were selected for the sample. Data were gathered by the use of a
closed-ended questionnaire and a structured interview method, and statistical
analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.0. The results of this study indicate
that students have more positive perspectives towards the use of culturally
responsive teaching integrated with AI. The favourable perspective from students
regarding the usage of culturally responsive teaching combined with AI in
enhancing their writing proficiency highlights the need of integrating cultural
diversity and technology use into the learning process to establish an inclusive,
effective, and captivating learning environment.
