THE IMPACT OF AI TOOLS ON ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND LANGUAGE ACCURACY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The use of AI-based writing assistants, grammar checkers, and language-support applications influences students’ ability to identify grammatical errors, improve sentence structure, enhance vocabulary usage, and produce more accurate academic writing. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI tools on the English grammar and language accuracy of university students. A quantitative research design was employed to collect data from 300 university students through a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on students’ frequency of AI tool usage, perceived improvement in grammar, language accuracy, writing confidence, and possible dependence on AI-assisted feedback. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to determine the relationship between AI tool usage and students’ English language performance. The findings indicate that AI tools positively contribute to students’ grammatical accuracy, sentence clarity, vocabulary selection, and overall writing quality. However, the study also suggests that frequent reliance on AI tools may affect students’ independent grammar-checking ability and reduce their confidence in writing without technological assistance. The research recommends that universities promote responsible and guided use of AI tools to strengthen students’ academic writing skills and independent language competence.
