Exploring the effects of a mixed writing feedback model integrating artificial intelligence on primary learners english graphophonemic awareness

Abstract
This mixed-methods action research project aimed to improve graphophonemic awareness through a mixed writing feedback model in second-grade English students within a multilingual classroom at an international school in Santiago, Chile. The reasons for the students' lack of graphophonemic awareness includes the mix of first languages and issues during early literacy acquisition during the pandemic in online classes. Students took pre-tests and post-tests and over two intervention cycles, students composed spontaneous texts, which received writing corrective feedback from their peers, teacher, and artificial intelligence. The study's outcomes demonstrated that a mixed writing feedback model improved students' graphophonemic awareness, increased writing motivation, and improved students’ self-perceptions of spelling competence. Additionally, the study revealed that while spelling errors vary among first language groups, the ə/, /ɪ/, and /eɪ/ phonemes present the most challenging sounds for students when spelling.
