The Assessment of EFL University Students’ Writing Through Grammarly Business

Abstrak

This study examined the assessment of the writing of 23 EFL university students using Grammarly. The descriptive qualitative research method employed in this study is the collection of student texts. The results demonstrated that students' writing contains errors in four Grammarly categories: correctness, clarity, engagement, and delivery. Punctuation, S-V agreement, pronoun usage, conjunction usage, determiner usage, sentence fragments, improper formatting, incorrect or absent prepositions, and misspelled words are examples of correctness errors. The clarity errors include the use of passive voice, ambiguous sentences, wordy sentences, complex text, and difficult-to-read text. The engagement errors then involve poor word selection and repetitive sentences. The remaining errors consist of incomplete sentences, tone suggestions, and improper colloquialisms. Even though this program has several flaws, such as its inability to detect the type of English and its absence of context and content evaluation, it can be used to assist EFL instructors in evaluating their students' writing more effectively and efficiently.
