USING CHATGPT AS A LANGUAGE LEARNING ASSISTANT
Abstract
This paper describes the potential of ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model, as an effective assistant in learning English language. With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in education, ChatGPT offers learners personalized, real-time interaction, making it a valuable tool for enhancing various language skills such as writing, speaking, and grammar. My current research examines practical applications of ChatGPT in classroom and self-study environments, including error correction, vocabulary expansion, and conversational practice. It also discusses the benefits and limitations of relying on AI for language acquisition, with emphasis on learner autonomy, motivation, and critical thinking. Findings suggest that, when used thoughtfully, ChatGPT can significantly complement traditional teaching methods and contribute to more engaging and flexible language learning experiences.
