Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of QuillBot as a paraphrasing tool for academic writing, focusing on how it assists students in reformulating their paragraphs while maintaining meaning and academic quality. The research aims to identify (1) how effective QuillBot in paraphrasing students‘ academic paragraphs and (2) the strengths and weaknesses of the tool based on students‘ experiences.

This qualitative research used document analysis of students‘ original and paraphrased paragraphs, followed by in-depth interviews with ten fifth-semester students of the English Education Study Program. The findings indicate that QuillBot is generally effective in enhancing vocabulary variety, producing structural changes, reducing plagiarism concerns, and simplifying the paraphrasing process. However, several limitations were identified, including word-limit restrictions, occasional meaning shifts, and dependence on internet connectivity.

Overall, the study concludes that QuillBot serves as a valuable support tool in academic paraphrasing, although manual revision remains necessary to ensure accuracy and alignment with academic standards. These insights highlight the importance of combining AI-assisted paraphrasing with students‘ critical evaluation to produce high-quality academic writing.
