The Effectiveness of Teaching English Using ChatGPT and Other Artificial Intellegence Tools

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of using ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The research analyzes how AI technologies influence language acquisition, student engagement, and teaching methodologies. Using a mixed-method approach, the study evaluates both qualitative and quantitative data from recent empirical research. The findings indicate that AI tools significantly enhance personalized learning, provide immediate feedback, and improve learners’ writing, speaking, and comprehension skills. However, challenges such as over-reliance on AI, reduced critical thinking, and ethical concerns are also identified. The study concludes that AI tools, when used alongside traditional teaching methods, can significantly improve English language learning outcomes.
