Read the following writing prompt and compose a well-structured three-paragraph essay in accordance with the guidelines specified in the prompt. Refer to any TESOL or learning theories, and incorporate concrete examples to strengthen your points.Please read the following passage from Baskara (2023) to develop a comprehensive understanding in preparation for the upcoming discussion that you are required to deliver.The use of ChatGPT in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) writing instruction has gained increased attention due to its potential to provide numerous benefits, contributing to the enhancement of EFL learners' writing proficiency. These benefits include personalized feedback and support, motivating EFL learners through the natural language capabilities offered by OpenAI, and facilitating the development of writing skills. However, the utilization of ChatGPT also introduces several challenges. For instance, ChatGPT may exhibit bias - a phenomenon attributed to the quality and diversity of the text datasets used to train the AI and NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology, as well as the underlying algorithms and models employed by the AI and NLP technology.[Paragraph 1]In the first paragraph of your essay, discuss one common challenge faced in traditional writing classes and elaborate on how ChatGPT can successfully tackle and resolve the challenge.[Paragraph 2]In the second paragraph, explain your perspective on the integration of ChatGPT into EFL writing instruction by describing the specifics of a 20-minute writing lesson activity. Situate your discussion by providing essential details related to the activity, such as target learners, proficiency levels, writing modes, and other relevant factors that characterize the instructional setting in which ChatGPT is employed in the activity.[Paragraph 3]In the third paragraph, describe assessment methods capable of evaluating (i) the developmental progress of the target learners in writing skills resulting from the activity, and (ii) the utilization of ChatGPT by the learners.ReferenceBaskara, F. R. (2023). Integrating ChatGPT into EFL writing instruction: Benefits and challenges. International Journal of Education and Learning, 5(1), 44-55.

I. Critical Thinking and Writing (50%)The Internet and fine transportation development have shortened the borders among nations, making multicultural communication far more common and faster than ever before. That boosts widespread phenomena of World/Global Englishes and English as a lingua franca (ELF). According to Oxford Bibliographies, ELF refers to “English used among speakers who have different first language backgrounds”. Firth (1996) defines ELF as “a ‘contact language’ between persons who share neither a common native tongue nor a common (national) culture, and for whom English is the chosen foreign language of communication” (p.240). McKay (2017) mentions that a major contribution of Firth’s definition is that it recognizes the common use of English among L2 speakers rather than that with native speakers. More importantly, it documents that manner in which less proficient speakers of English manage to interact and repair breakdowns in communication. This, McKay argues, might lead to a conclusion that, by documenting socalled core features of ELF, a somewhat limited English instead of full proficiency in the language should be the target of language learning. Do you agree or disagree with McKay’s argument? How do the statements above compare with the English learning environment in Taiwan? Write an essay of no more than 400 words to elaborate.
