Description
In response to the growing demand for educational innovation and digital transformation in Vietnam’s English language teaching, this study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can support teachers with classroom management and improve student outcomes. The research involved over 240 secondary and high school students in Hai Duong and Dak Lak provinces. A range of AI-integrated tools were incorporated into English lessons during the school years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Using action research combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the study collected data through observation, student feedback, and learning performance before and after implementation. Results show that students became more engaged, accountable, and confident in communication. The findings suggest that with careful adaptation, AI tools can make English learning more interactive and relevant while also preparing learners with digital competencies. This presentation will offer participants attending this presentation practical strategies, critical reflections, and the authors’ experience to ensure successful implementation, creating a positive learning environment for students and an active sharing community for dedicated teachers.
