Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the students' perspectives on the use of ChatGPT to support their language learning. The current study collects data from 77 Vietnamese students who pursued their studies at some universities in Vietnam and the United States. The questionnaire was designed with Microsoft Forms and sent to the students via personal connections in both countries. The study found that ChatGPT or A.I. Chatbot was positively viewed as a useful tool for facilitating language learning. Moreover, ChatGPT was found to help engage the students in the learning process and was seen as an effective tool to support their learning and enhance their knowledge. However, over-alliance with ChatGPT might limit the students' critical thinking and creativity. To minimize these drawbacks, a compromise between ChatGPT and conventional teaching methods should be used. The current study suggests educators employ ChatGPT or AI tools to innovate language teaching and research.
