The Impact of Analysing QuillBot Products on Enhancing EFL Learners’ Paraphrasing Skills

Abstract

The current study investigated the impact of analysing QuillBot products on enhancing Master One EFL learners’ paraphrasing skills, at the Department of English, Jijel University. It was hypothesized that if students analysed QuillBot’s paraphrased texts, they could improve their own paraphrasing skills. To test the hypothesis, a quasi-experimental design was conducted following a non-equivalent comparison group design. The study included two groups of students, with 17 participants in each group, and was carried out over a duration of five weeks, during the second semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. Students received the treatment in three sessions, and each session focused on analysing one or two QuillBot paraphrasing techniques
