This study focuses on optimizing the teaching of English listening skills for students using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recognizing the crucial role of listening as the foundation of language acquisition, the research addresses current challenges in Vietnamese high schools, including limited classroom time and a lack of diverse, level-appropriate listening materials. By leveraging AI tools such as ChatGPT, Twee.com, Capcut, and others, this project designs tailored listening exercises that closely follow the curriculum content. These AI-driven tools enable the creation of varied, interactive, and personalized listening activities, including quizzes, gap-fill exercises, and listening tasks from videos, which enhance students’ engagement and language reflexes. Additionally, AI facilitates the generation of audio content with multiple English accents, helping learners adapt to real-world language diversity.
The methodology includes document analysis, AI-assisted lesson design, classroom implementation in two representative classes, and mixed quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Results indicate significant improvement in students’ listening proficiency, increased confidence, and positive feedback from both learners and teachers. Reduced preparation time and greater creativity in lesson planning is the target of the study.
This research highlights AI’s potential to innovate English language teaching in Vietnam and recommends strategies for broader application in secondary education to better prepare students for global integration and modern learning demands.
