Abstract

Paraphrasing is considered an important skill for postgraduates in their journey toward pursuing an academic degree. This skill helps postgraduates avoid plagiarism and showcases their ability to analyze, research, and perform academic writing tasks. Although numerous studies have determined the importance of this skill, most postgraduates still frequently need help in achieving paraphrasing proficiency. The emergence of QuillBot, an AI-powered paraphrasing tool, is a potential solution for these frequent challenges in learning paraphrasing skills. The overall benefits of QuillBot on the academic writing skills of English learners have been recognized and proven in various studies. However, only some studies have delved into how QuillBot assists postgraduates who took part in improving their paraphrasing skills, serving the academic genre of writing. Therefore, this study recruited twenty English-majored postgraduates to investigate.
