The rapid development of AI-based writing assistants provides new opportunities for enhancing linguistic accuracy, self-editing skills, and learner autonomy in EFL contexts. Using an explanatory mixed-methods design, this research involved 20 students selected purposively from the English Language Education Study Program. Quantitative data were obtained by analyzing students’ recount texts using Claude AI to identify linguistic errors across seven categories: sentence structure, capitalization, spelling, punctuation, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight participants representing high, moderate, and low proficiency levels. The quantitative results reveal that sentence structure (28.6%), capitalization (27.8%), and spelling (21.9%) were the most frequent errors prior to revision, indicating that students struggled with syntactic accuracy and basic writing mechanics. After using Claude AI, students demonstrated noticeable improvement in grammatical accuracy, writing organization, and mechanical correctness. The qualitative results further show that students perceived Claude AI as helpful, motivating, and easy to use, stating that it raised their awareness of recurring mistakes, reduced writing anxiety, and supported independent revision. However, challenges such as overreliance, general feedback, and difficulty understanding complex explanations were also reported. The study concludes that Claude AI effectively enhances students’ recount writing performance while fostering confidence and autonomy, yet requires balanced use and teacher guidance to prevent dependency and ensure long-term skill development. 428 UIN SMH Banten Perpustakaan Pusat SKRIPSI TBI 2621 SKRIPSI TBI 2621 My Library SKRIPSI TBI 2621 31935 2026-07-01 18:59:55 2026-07-01 19:00:33 machine generated
