Abstract: Writing is a crucial ability that holds great significance in communication, education, and societal influence. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential effects of using Chat GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) as an instructional tool for teaching descriptive text on EFL (English as Foreign Language) students. This study utilized a quasi-experimental methodology and included 68 children from a state Junior High School in Sampang. The samples were selected via purposive sampling. The researcher allocated 34 students to the control group and 34 students to the experimental group. Data was collected through a test that involved composing essay questions. An independent sample t-test was used to assess the pre-test and post-test data using inferential statistics. The finding demonstrates that Chat GPT has a beneficial effect on improving students’ writing skills. The average score obtained in the post-test by the experimental group (76.24) was higher compared to the control group (69.50) due to the beneficial impact of technology on students’ learning process. The 2-tailed significance value is 0.009, which is below the threshold of 0.05. This indicates a statistically significant improvement in writing skills. Ultimately, employing Chat GPT as an educational media yields a beneficial influence on students’ writing proficiency. Teachers are advised to utilize technology in order to enhance students’ writing abilities. It is suggested to implement Chat GPT as an educational medium to engage students’ participation for future researchers.
