ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR DEVELOPING EFL SKILLS: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF CHATGPT IN THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOM
Abstract
This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, in developing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) skills within blended learning environments. The article provides a review of existing literature on AI integration in education and presents results from practical classroom applications supporting the development of writing, speaking, reading, and listening skills. Findings indicate that AI-based tools can enhance learner autonomy, language competence, and motivation. The discussion highlights the transformative potential of AI in EFL methodology while also addressing its limitations and ethical considerations.
