Abstract
Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui mengapa Grammarly banyak digunakan oleh mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di UINSI Samarinda sebagai alat untuk memperbaiki kesalahan mereka, khususnya kesalahan tata bahasa dalam tulisan mereka. Sementara itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) untuk mengetahui persepsi mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris terhadap penggunaan Grammarly sebagai pemeriksa tata bahasa online dalam keterampilan menulis. (2) mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan penggunaan Grammarly. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Program Studi Bahasa Inggris semester IV tahun ajaran 2021/2022 di UINSI Samarinda. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan wawancara, kuesioner dan dokumentasi. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa memiliki keyakinan positif atau “Setuju” dengan penggunaan Grammarly dalam keterampilan menulis. Grammarly dianggap bermanfaat bagi mahasiswa. Ini membantu mahasiswa untuk memeriksa kesalahan tata bahasa, konten Grammarly mencakup fitur terkait tata bahasa seperti tata bahasa, ejaan, tanda baca, dan gaya, dan memberikan umpan balik langsung dan tidak langsung. Kelebihan Grammarly sebagai pemeriksa tata bahasa online adalah Grammarly mudah dipahami, fiturnya sederhana, dan menghemat waktu mereka. Sedangkan kelemahan Grammarly adalah tidak dapat mendeteksi tenses apa yang digunakan mahasiswa pada saat atau dalam sebuah paragraf, dan mahasiswa harus membayar jika ingin mengakses semua fitur premium Grammarly.
