This study examines the use of ChatGPT in students’ report-writing process in the course “Mini-project: British and American work styles”. The participants were 105 senior English majors at Thu Daub Mot University in Vietnam in the second semester of the 2024-2025 school year. This study investigates how students used ChatGPT while writing their reports and their perceptions of its use. A questionnaire containing both closed and open-ended items was administered at the end of the course to collect students’ responses. The results showed that the majority of students used ChatGPT during their writing process. They believed ChatGPT should be integrated into academic writing courses and intended to continue using it in future academic tasks. However, they indicated that more specific university guidelines on the use of AI tools should be provided.
