Abstract
Digital based-applications have emerged as pivotal tools in enhancing the quality and coherence of English writing. The aim of this research is to explore students’ experiences in using application in their English writing and to analyze lexical and grammatical cohesion in English writings of students from the English Language Education Department at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, batch 2020. This qualitative study utilized questionnaires, interview guidelines, and content analysis as instruments to collect data. The findings show that all students used digital applications in their English writing practice. Grammarly, Google Docs and QuillBot were the applications most commonly used by the students. The research also identified lexical and grammatical cohesion in students’ English writing. Specifically, six types of lexical cohesion were found in the writing of the 21 students: 72 repetitions, 2 synonyms, 10 antonyms, 38 hyponyms, 24 meronyms, and 125 collocations. In addition, four types of grammatical cohesion were identified: 876 reference, 98 substitutions, 135 ellipses, and 444 conjunctions. Overall, the findings indicate the positive contribution of digital applications on students’ English writing underscores its value as a pedagogical tool. The findings also highlight the need for ongoing support and development in English academic writing. Further studies could explore the impact of different types of application on various aspects of writing quality and coherence, as well as how students’ proficiency with these tools evolves overtime. Comparative studies involving other institutions or language departments could provide additional insights in the effectiveness of application in writing education.
