THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENGLISH SELF-LEARNING AMONG STUDENTS AT TERTIARY LEVEL

Abstract

In today’s world, technological advancements have greatly transformed various aspects of life, including education. Both educators and learners benefit from modern technologies, especially artificial intelligence. However, integrating artificial intelligence tools into English self-learning poses challenges. This study explores the role of artificial intelligence in fostering self-learning among English language students at the tertiary level. The research was conducted on teachers and students at Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Ho Chi Minh City campus. Through a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from questionnaires (on 197 students) and qualitative data were obtained via interviews (with 3 English teachers) to assess the effectiveness of artificial intelligence interventions in promoting self-study strategies. The findings showed that artificial intelligence applications not only facilitate personalized learning experiences but also enhance learners’ motivation in English self-learning. This study contributes to the body of literature on educational technology and offers insights into pedagogical strategies that leverage artificial intelligence for language learning. Implications for educators and curriculum developers are discussed, highlighting the potential of artificial intelligence to transform traditional approaches to language education.
