Abstract

This study investigated Arab postgraduate students’ uses of ChatGPT in their higher studies in India with a special reference to academic writing being a requirement of academic research activities. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 40 Arab postgraduates attending five universities in Kerala. Findings show that the participants perceived benefits of ChatGPT and effects on their academic writing, language competency, and achievement. It significantly impacts their productivity. However, not all Arab students utilize all the benefits of the tool for some reasons including lack of familiarity with the incipient ChatGPT. Based on the findings, the study provides some important recommendation for utilizing this chatbot in a way that increase their abilities in using technology in their studies to save time and efforts as well as familiarize them with sensitive issues of honesty and plagiarism. The study may be useful to some other participants engaged with academic writing in India and abroad.
