Abstract

Research suggests that English as a foreign language (EFL) students' argumentative writing benefits from interactions with peers. However, finding an ideal partner to interact with can be difficult in practice, and chatbots have been suggested as a potential solution to this problem. Chatbots are a form of artificial intelligence (AI) designed to engage in turn-by-turn conversations with human users. In this paper, we propose a chatbot-assisted approach to the teaching and learning of argumentative writing. We describe Argumate, a novel chatbot system that we developed to scaffold students' argument construction, and we discuss the advantages and lim-itations of using this system to assist students in producing high-quality argumentative writing.
