High school students around the world are trying to improve their English skills in speaking, writing, reading, and listening. This research aims to explore Students’ Perception of using the AI Grammar Checker application in learning English for high school students. An exploratory qualitative research design was used to gain a comprehensive understanding of students' experiences with the AI Grammar Checker and its impact on their English learning.
