Upwrite Feedback Cyle: AI-Powered Feedback For Teaching Argumentative Writing In Islamic Higher Education

Abstract

This book emerges from a deep conviction that the integration of artificial intelligence into English language teaching is not merely a technological novelty, it is a pedagogical opportunity. As EFL lecturers working within Islamic higher education, we are called to nurture students not only as competent academic writers but as thoughtful, ethically grounded individuals whose voices carry both intellectual rigor and moral purpose.
The UPWRITE model presented in this book investigating how AI-generated feedback influences the argumentative writing development of EFL students in an Islamic university context. What emerged from that research was more than a set of findings, it was a framework: a structured, values-integrated approach to leveraging AI feedback in the writing classroom that honours both academic excellence and the Islamic educational tradition.
This guide is written for the EFL lecturer who stands at the intersection of tradition and technology, who wants to prepare students for a globalized world without losing sight of the character formation that Islamic education prioritizes.
