This study investigates the effect of using an AI-powered Interactive Response System (IRS), Pear Deck, on students’ achievement in an online English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing course. While teleconferencing tools have been helpful, they might not be sufficient to facilitate a successful online EFL writing class. Pear Deck, which facilitates real-time writing and monitoring, was integrated to address this issue. A quasi-experimental design was used with 70 freshman participants divided into a treatment group (taught with Pear Deck slides) and a control group (taught with static PowerPoint slides). The two groups were taught by the same lecturer using identical lesson plans and assessment tasks for over 12 weeks. Results from a 2 x 2 mixed design ANOVA showed a significantly greater improvement in writing proficiency for the treatment group compared to the control group. Students who used the interactive platform had significantly higher achievement. Additionally, the platform’s features, including the real-time feedback function, interactive format, and semi anonymous participation, might have contributed to increased engagement and reduced anxiety.
