The Effectiveness of the AI-Based Pragmatic Model in Improving English Creative Writing Skills Among Third-Year High School Students in Riyadh

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the AI-based deliberative model in enhancing creative writing skills in English among third-year high school students in Riyadh. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted, with participants divided into an experimental group that used the deliberative model and a control group that followed traditional methods. Students’ creative writing performance was assessed through a standardized test administered before and after the intervention, while data on the challenges encountered during the implementation of the model were also collected. The results revealed that students who used the AI-based deliberative model demonstrated significant improvements in all aspects of creative writing, including originality and creativity, organization and coherence, language use, critical and analytical thinking, and fluency and flexibility, compared to their peers in the control group. Statistical analyses indicated significant differences favoring the experimental group, confirming the model’s effectiveness in fostering creative writing. Regarding challenges, students reported difficulties in aligning AI-generated feedback with their personal writing style, understanding AI outputs, and technical issues. However, these obstacles did not hinder their overall progress. The study recommends integrating AI-assisted writing tools into creative writing curricula and providing structured training for students to optimize their use of AI in writing development.
