这份案例研究调查二语作者在学术写作过程中如何使用 ChatGPT，利用活动理论评估协作与声音。

ABSTRACT

The rapid proliferation of ChatGPT has incited debates regarding its impact on human writing. Amid concerns about declining writing standards, this study investigates the role of ChatGPT in facilitating academic writing, especially among language learners. Using a case study approach, this study examines the experiences of Kailing, a doctoral student, who integrates ChatGPT throughout their academic writing process. The study employs activity theory as a lens for understanding writing with generative AI tools and data analyzed includes semi-structured interviews, writing samples, and GPT logs. Results indicate that Kailing effectively collaborates with ChatGPT across various writing stages while preserving her distinct authorial voice and agency. This underscores the potential of AI tools such as ChatGPT to enhance academic writing for language learners without overshadowing individual authenticity. This case study offers a critical exploration of how ChatGPT is utilized in the academic writing process and the preservation of a student's authentic voice when engaging with the tool.
