Description

The purpose of this research is to examine how affects the independence of learners at a Vietnamese university who are studying English. The study uses a combined research strategy, incorporating both a questionnaire completed by the participants themselves and interviews. This allows for the gathering of information on the students' opinions, viewpoints, and interactions with when it's employed as a resource for learning a language. The results demonstrated that meaningfully promotes student self-direction in education by enabling individual learning paths, rapid evaluation of work, and expanded access to linguistic content. Conversely, it presents difficulties; in particular, responses which are generally applicable and misunderstandings that might impair productive learning experiences. The study stresses that educators must incorporate artificial intelligence platforms such as as supporting tools in conjunction with customary teaching methodologies to fully leverage them in language instruction. Suggestions for future academic exploration and teaching approaches are presented as well, focusing on the distinct considerations of Vietnamese students of English in their language acquisition procedures.

Biography

I am Huy Ngo Thanh and I now live at Tra Vinh City, Vietnam. Currently, I am an English teacher in the "Victory Informatics and Foreign Language Center" of the "Tra Vinh University" located in the city of Tra Vinh in Vietnam. As for research interest, one of the hot issues about modern education interests me most, the use of artificial intelligence technology in toyaching and learning for students. One of the most powerful instruments and applications in this regard is ChatGPT - a highly sought and heavily used tool in today’s educational world. This fascinating overlap of technology and pedagogy has also inspired me to research the subject, because I believe that by learning and appropriately using AI-assisted language learning applications, we can really improve our learning results and upend traditional teaching methods, and I am pretty sure this is for the best. More broadly, the purpose of my research is to investigate the potential pedagogical benefits of these new technologies in learning and teaching English in order to provide analytic guidance for the effective integration and implementation of the technology in English language teaching for Vietnamese students, as well as to contribute to the growing range of literature on technology-enhanced language education.
