THE PERCEPTION OF GRAMMARLY AMONG PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING CLASS

Abstract

Media plays a crucial role in facilitating effective learning by capturing and maintaining student attention. Grammarly, a readily accessible tool, can be particularly beneficial for students, especially in developing their writing skills. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate students' perceptions regarding the utilization of Grammarly in writing instruction. We employed a mixed-methods research design, collecting data through both questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaires allowed for a broad quantitative overview of student opinions, while the follow-up interviews provided richer, qualitative insights into their experiences, challenges, and perceived benefits of using Grammarly. A total of 23 students enrolled in the Scientific Writing course at a private university in East Jakarta participated in the questionnaire survey.
