AI Chatbots: Developing English Language Proficiency in EFL Classroom

Abstract

The current paper attempts to explore the potential implications and feasibility of AI Chatbots in EFL contexts, as well as how they can help in second language acquisition. To assess data and achieve its intended goals, the current study employs various techniques, including commentaries, online interviews, questionnaires, quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The research’s relevance is limited by the fact that Chinese middle school students often struggle with their spoken English. This study aims to present the outcomes of teaching oral English to Chinese middle school students by using AI Chatbots. The content’s applicability in developing speaking skills is a powerful argument for the research’s practical value. The findings indicate that AI Chatbots foster students speaking skills creating a stress-free and non-competitive learning environment.
