This study investigates an educational approach for enhancing foreign language writing skills in cyber university students by promoting the self-directed use of ChatGPT. Using a case study method, the research explores both the potential benefits and limitations of ChatGPT, a generative AI that can support writing tasks by providing real-time feedback, text summaries, and support for various writing forms, including essays and stories. While ChatGPT offers advantages such as reducing instructors' feedback workload and fostering improvements in students' writing, concerns arise regarding ChatGPT’s provision of inaccurate information and its potential to encourage plagiarism if students submit ChatGPT-generated content without proper revision. To address challenges, this study proposes instructional strategies for creating effective prompts that can elicit meaningful feedback from ChatGPT, alongside methods for students to integrate and reflect upon this feedback throughout each stage of the writing process. These instructional strategies are designed to enhance students' independent learning and encourage the responsible use of ChatGPT in educational settings.
