Application of AI in Enhancing Speaking Performance of Students in Hanoi

Abstract

Teaching English has recently been boosted by the development of artificial intelligence (AI). One of the key sections that benefits most from this is the speaking performance of students. This paper explores a case study in Hanoi where English language teaching is supported by AI. The result shows that the speaking performance of students is significantly enhanced in the experimental group, in both the short term and long term. The motivation and confidence of students is also increased, and this correlates with the application of AI. Time exposure to AI tends to be a big issue with students; it may cause headaches for administration because of several issues such as plagiarism and time consummation; however, it can also improve the learning results. The assistance of AI seems to be effective and needs to be considered in the future pedagogical implementation, especially in the period of maturity of AI tools.
