ChatGPT and Peer Noticing: Acquiring Knowledge and Improving Writing

Mart Christine Johnston (Takushoku University, Japan)

 

Abstract

In this presentation, I discuss the results of research on the integration of ChatGPT and peer noticing to enhance writing skills. I gave students an individualized paper test to correct their previous errors, and I counted the correct sentences in their last essay and compared that with previous ones to determine whether the method supported their learning. Prior to these analysis methods, students wrote four essays (pen-and-paper) and utilized ChatGPT to correct any errors present in their writing. I also asked them to record these errors. Additionally, I paired them with peers to share what they had learned from their errors. I gave each student a chance to share with the class one grammar point they had learned from a writing error. I identified the most common errors in the class. Ultimately, this research also identified grammar points that the majority of students learned from using ChatGPT, as well as corrections made by the software that they did not notice.
