Abstract

This study aimed at examining the role of Autocorrect Software use in Learning English as a foreign language. 203 university Students of General English courses participated in the study. Their use of Autocorrect Software was evaluated by Autocorrect Software Use Scale (ASUS). ASUS assesses Autocorrect Software use with respect to five components including the importance of spelling skills in Learning English with Autocorrect, Students’ awareness of the way Autocorrect works, its educational value, its error correction function, and its value in improving English spelling and writing skills. Achievement in Learning English was assessed by both formative and summative evaluations in General English course. The data were analyzed by both descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and regression methods). The results of correlation showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between Learning English and ASUS and its four components; while the strongest correlations were related to factor 1, the importance of spelling skills in Learning English (r=. 215, p<. 01) and factor 3, educational value of Autocorrect Software (r=. 214, p<. 01). The result of multiple regressions revealed that these factors function as the facilitator of Learning English and can significantly predict more than 10% of its variance.
