EXPLORING STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS IN THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY THE INFLUENCE OF CHATGPT ON LANGUAGE LEARNING
Keywords:
ChatGPT, Language Learning, Technology, EFL Students
Abstract
This study explore students' perceptions of using ChatGPT as a tool for English language learning, focusing on ease of use, its impact on learning, and challenges encountered. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 16 EFL students from the State Islamic Institute of Palangka Raya. Thematic analysis revealed that ChatGPT’s simple interface and quick response support its adoption. Respondents reported improvements in vocabulary acquisition and grammar understanding, although pronunciation features were deemed inadequate. Additionally, ChatGPT enhanced learning motivation through interactive experiences, although free account access limitations posed challenges. This study recommends the development of audio-based features for pronunciation and the integration of ChatGPT into curricula with appropriate guidance. These findings provide valuable insights for educators, technology developers, and policymakers to optimize the use of AI in education.
