The quasi-experimental design involved four teachers, each teaching one control and one experimental class, totaling eight groups of students. Pre- and post-tests were conducted over a period of five weeks, focusing on task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, grammar and accuracy, and overall score. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U tests for pre-test comparisons, and MANCOVA analyses for post-test comparisons. Results show no significant difference in the impact of Write & Improve feedback compared to traditional teacher feedback across multiple dimensions of the writing test, both within individual teachers’ classes and when combined. Longitudinal analysis reveals fluctuating scores over time with no consistent improvement. Thus, the study concludes that the Write & Improve tool is equally effective as teacher feedback in improving students’ writing skills. This implies that educational institutions can potentially integrate technology-based feedback systems like Write & Improve alongside traditional teaching methods to enhance student learning outcomes in writing proficiency.\u003Cbr>Keywords: AI feedback, English language, student learning outcomes, teacher feedback, Write & Improve tool |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nThe application of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has the potential to transform education by offering personalized, adaptable, and efficient educational materials and assistance to students of all levels (Relmasira et al. 2021) . Educators may better identify students’ specific requirements, personalize  \ninstructional content, and improve overall educational achievements by utilizing AI technologies. Numerous scholars investigated the use of AI tools in teaching and learning in relation to various platform use (de los Ángeles Domínguez-González et al., 2023; Fitria, 2021), digital pedagogy (Timonen & Ruokamo 2021; Väätäinen & Ruokamo, 2021), digital storytelling (Niemi & Niu, 2021; Robin, 2008), advantages of using AI in education (Luckin & Holmes, 2016), and advantages of AI writing tools (Toscano, 2023) . For example, Luckin and Holmes (2016) argue that integrating AI tools in education enhances inclusivity by assisting disabled students, offering immediate and detailed feedback, analyzing a broader audience’s work, and providing personalized feedback based on individual strengths and weaknesses. Utilizing such AI tools develops more student-centered learning, thus enhancing the overall academic experience of students.  \nOn the other hand, traditional teaching methods, also","cbCaivPp7LPNBx2H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivPp7LPNBx2H","pdf",366521,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Background on AI in education\n## Teacher-centered instruction and limitations\n## AI-assisted writing feedback in language learning","[{\"question\":\"What comparison does the study make regarding feedback methods?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares feedback from teachers with feedback generated by the Write \\u0026 Improve platform to see how each approach affects students’ writing skills.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"It used a quasi-experimental design with four teachers, each teaching one control and one experimental class, forming eight student groups.
