VIETTESOL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION 2025

This study investigates the attitudes, habits, and perceptions of high school students in Vinh Phuc province regarding the use of ChatGPT in English language learning. A total of 120 students participated in the research. Data were collected through a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire adapted from Ho, P. X. P. (2024), administered online via Google Forms. The study aimed to understand how students integrate ChatGPT into their English learning routines and how they perceive its effectiveness. The quantitative data from the tests were analyzed using SPSS 22, which helped identify the statistical significance of the results. The findings highlight that students generally have positive attitudes toward ChatGPT, recognizing its efficacy in tasks such as translation, grammar checking, paraphrasing, and writing. Most students reported using the tool to quickly solve difficulties they encountered while learning English, especially in writing assignments and vocabulary usage. The study also found that while ChatGPT offers practical support, its use tends to be more solution-oriented rather than skill-development focused. This suggests a need for further guidance on how to use AI tools to enhance long-term language competence. The research contributes to the growing body of literature on artificial intelligence in education and provides insights for teachers, policymakers, and curriculum designers on the responsible integration of AI in language classrooms.
