Personal, academic and professional success depends on effective communication skills, which are essential for expressing ideas, thoughts and emotions in an increasingly connected and digitized world. Traditional methods of teaching communication skills often fail to meet the diverse needs and learning styles of students, as they are restrictive and lack the adaptability needed to meet individual strengths and weaknesses. Along with technological developments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformational force in education, particularly in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). AI technologies such as natural language processing, machine learning, and adaptive algorithms have the potential to revolutionize the teaching and learning of communication skills by offering adaptive and customized learning experiences, real-time feedback, and scalability. This research addresses gaps in the current literature regarding the practical application and assessment of AI-based approaches, specifically focusing on the role of Grammarly in adaptive learning for students writing communication skills. This study employed the Descriptive Qualitative Research Methodology to explore the role of AI in enhancing students communication skills, specifically through the use of Grammarly. The participants were eight-semester students majoring in English at IAIN Kediri. Data collection involved four primary tools: human instruments, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. To ensure data validity, investigator triangulation was utilized, incorporating multiple triangulation methods. This approach allowed for a comprehensive analysis of AIs impact on adaptive learning and the development of students writing skills. The findings from this study reveal some significant impacts of AI on student learning outcomes. AI facilitates personalized learning by analyzing individual strengths and weaknesses, offering real-time feedback and assessment, and recommending specific learning modules and activities. In particular, using Grammarly as an AI tool significantly helps develop English writing skills. A survey of 30 final-year students showed that 90% agreed that Grammarly helped correct word errors, improving understanding of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Interviews with five students also supported these findings. In addition, communication with students via WhatsApp showed that those who used Grammarly demonstrated higher confidence and produced more structured text responses compared to those who did not use Grammarly. These results highlight the potential of AI to enhance adaptive learning and improve students writing skills.
