Abstract

The emergence of ChatGPT in the world of English education opens up great opportunities, especially for EFL students in essay writing skills. Most of the previous studies have focused more on the general potential and use of ChatGPT in improving writing skills, not on students’ feelings when using ChatGPT in writing English essays. It is important to fill this gap by exploring in depth the feeling of EFL students when using ChatGPT. This study aims to uncover students feelings in using ChatGPT while writing English essays. More specifically, it explores in depth how they felt during the writing process using the technology. The researcher used a qualitative approach with a narrative inquiry design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis and Martin and White’s appraisal theory. Participants in this study shared their emotional feelings when using ChatGPT in writing essays. The results revealed that students felt two contrasting types of feelings. They felt happy, confident, encouraged to continue using, and satisfied because ChatGPT helped them in the pre-writing stage, structuring sentences, providing ideas, and improving the quality of writing. However, they also felt discomfort, lack of confidence, fear of dependency, and dissatisfaction due to innaccurate information, stilted results, and features they found confusing. Overall, the study suggests that while ChatGPT can be a useful support tool in writing English essays, students and educators should still approach it critically, understanding its benefits and limitations in a balanced way.
