“…As stated by Puspitasari (2013), university students at Yogyakarta State University were still confused about proper grammar and they chose Grammarly to help them in correcting their writing. It is also in line with Lailika's (2019) and Fitria (2021) finding about the users' perception of using Grammarly, that is to boost their confidence in writing. They revealed that the users could check their writing with Grammarly first before presenting it to the class or the teacher.…”

Grammarly is one of the famous Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tools used by EFL students. Many studies have revealed that this tool can improve students’ writing. However, studies evaluating Grammarly’s feedback accuracy, especially the premium version, are still limited. This study aims to: (1) explore EFL students' perceptions of Grammarly premium feedback, (2) provide a detailed analysis of types of inaccurate feedback provided by Grammarly premium, and (3) investigate how students handle inaccurate feedback. This mix method study used a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and documentation to collect the data. The participants were undergraduate EFL students who were writing or had completed their thesis. The results indicate that: (1) students have positive and negative perceptions on the use of Grammarly Premium. They claimed that Grammarly Premium helped them in writing. The ‘correctness’ feature improved spelling, grammar, punctuation, convention, article, and consistency. The ‘clarity’ feature improves readability, such as conciseness and passive voice. The ‘engagement’ feature made writing varied and the ‘delivery’ feature to get the right tone. On the other hand, students complained about the need of a stable internet connection to work properly and require additional proofreading due to some inaccuracies. (2) Inaccurate feedback generally occurred in the features of correctness (convention, spelling, punctuation, article, and consistency), clarity (passive voice and conciseness), and engagement (variety). (3) Students continued to use Grammarly Premium because it helped them self-proofreading even though it had some shortcomings. In short, students still preferred to use Grammarly Premium with some concern in accepting the provided feedback.

“…However, Grammarly also has some drawbacks. One of them is Grammarly cannot provide direct feedback if the internet conditions were unstable (Fitria, 2021;Lailika, 2019;Pratama, 2020). Another drawback that often occurred is that Grammarly's feedback was not always accurate (Dodigovic, 2021;Fitria, 2021;Nova, 2018;Pratama, 2020).…”

“…This is because Grammarly provides students with feedback and corrections that are useful in assuring that the writing is grammatically correct. This argument is in line with the research findings conducted by Fitria et al, (2022) stating that it is crucial to have correct grammatical because it is one of the criteria that show one's writing quality, especially in thesis writing. One of the ways to minimize incorrect writing is by having AWE such as Grammarly (Koltovskaia, 2023;Miranty et al, 2023;Tambunan et al, 2022;Akmal et al, 2020).…”

This research explored the impact of the Grammarly application on students’ writing performance and perceptions, particularly during the thesis writing stage. Writing is a complex cognitive process requiring strategic planning, organization, grammar, and vocabulary skills. The study focused on students majoring in English Language Education at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University, specifically those in their ninth semester from the 2018 cohort. A purposive sample of 42 students, all at the thesis writing stage and users of Grammarly, was selected from a total of 127. Additionally, three lecturers, serving as thesis supervisors, were randomly selected for interviews from a pool of 20. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative methods, using survey questionnaires and interviews for data collection. Results indicated that Grammarly was a beneficial tool for students, significantly aiding in thesis writing and reducing the time spent on checking grammatical errors. The surveys revealed unanimous student agreement on Grammarly’s positive impact on their writing process. Interviews with lecturers supported this, noting an improvement in the quality of theses written by students who used Grammarly. This study underscored the effectiveness of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tools like Grammarly in enhancing students’ writing skills and outcomes.

This research aims to see the effect of using the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy on the ability of eleventh grade students in reading comprehension of narrative texts at SMA Negeri 5 Pematang Siantar. In this study, researchers used a method called quasi-experimental design, which allows researchers to collect numerical data. The population is all class XI students of SMA Negeri 5 Pematang Siantar for the 2023/2024 academic year, totaling 10 classes. The number of students in each class varies, so the total is 360 students. This research sampling involved two classes, namely XI PMIA-1 and XI PMIA-3. Data analysis shows that the experimental class obtained an average post-test score of 86.52, compared to the control class's average score of 80.13. The post-test standard deviation for the experimental class was 6.95, while the control class had a standard deviation of 3.77. Additionally, the standard error of the mean difference was calculated as 3.22. With a significance level of 5%, the T-count value exceeds the T-table value (1.8 > 1.672), so it can be concluded that the T-count is greater than the T-table. This also shows that (Ho) is rejected and (Ha) is accepted.
