Teachers’ and Students’ Attitudes Towards Using Grammarly Application in Enhancing EFL Learners’ Writing

Abstract

The present study aims chiefly at evaluating students’ and teachers’ perceptions about the use of Grammarly application in enhancing EFL learners’ writing. To meet this objective, it is hypothesized that both teachers’ and learners have positive attitudes towards Grammarly application, because it helps students correct errors, improve their writing skill. To this end, two questionnaires were administered to a sample of (40) master two out of 135 EFL learners and (8) teachers of written expression at Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia University, Jijel. The analysis of the aforementioned research instruments has demonstrated that the majority of EFL learners use Grammarly application to correct their writing errors. Most of the teachers questioned in this study, however, do not use it, but they recommend EFL learners to benefit from it because they are still in the stage of learning. Based on the results obtained, some pedagogical recommendation and suggestion for future research are suggested
