Well, this is an important question. Scholars and language instructors are of two opposite views: for or against this tool of artificial intellegance.

In my opinion, ChatGPT can be used as a tool for improving English Language acquistion. It can be used to improve Language Skills such as reading and writing.

As a tool, it depends on its users. Whether we accept it or not, our students are going to use ChatGPT.

BY the end of the day, it would be like the caclulator in a Math class. It would have its advantages and disadvantages.

The usefulness of using ChatGPT in the EFL/ESL classroom should certainly be researched and shared the result with any interested people. The participants and methodology are the keys.nawaz

I think this will be the very emergent trend that poses a lot of issues. Teachers will have more pressure if they r not ready to change and it also assists the generation of ideas.Tri

To me, ChatGPT, the computer program can be as great tool to help learners acquire English language and enhance their English skills such as speaking and writings skills, and language components. Learners can use it for oral communication by chating with ChatGPT, and at the same time they are practicing to speak fluently. To improve their writing skils, learners can practice it through simplifying the long written text. ChatGPT also helps learners provide feedback on their writings for revision. For vocabulary building, ChatGPT can be used to practice making sentences using strange words to be arranged in many sentences. To practice pronunciation, ChatGPT helps learners in practicing how to pronunce vocabulary correctly while they are reading sentences created by ChatGPT.

All the best

Hello Dr. Wagdi,

ChatGPT is a powerful language generation model that can be used in a variety of educational aspects to enhance teaching and learning. In this context, it will help ESL/EFL learners to learn languages. It can generate prompts for conversation practice, and even provide accurate grammar correction. ChatGpt has many applications, but it is not a replacement for human teachers.

Salah Alamer

I have used it. It helps in showing how to answer questions.

You can simply ask the bot to answer any question, and it will do so in the best way possible. You can even ask this tool to write for you.

Salam, Dr. Wagdi

ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot that has inspired conflicting responses all over the world by its way of providing and/or filtering fast specialized knowledge in almost all fields with just little inefficiency, if any at all. In a sense, I can imagine it acting like someone who is able to get you as many materials, exercises, article, papers, books, etc. as he can and even filter them for you as YOU wish. In short, it only provides you with some specialized information and organizes it for you in any way you fancy.

If this is what ChatGPT does as a tool of gathering, organizing, paraphrasing, plagiarizing, etc. information for people, can it, through such activities or the like, help students acquire a foreign or second language? In a similar vein, can articles, papers, books, or even videos, etc. by themselves, when made available to students help them acquire a language? Further, has the internet armed with all its social media facilities and web browsers managed to equip students with new knowledge or fasten their way(s) of learning a foreign or second language?

Language acquisition is a complicated process that needs human intervention, persistence, perseverance, determination along with a long period of time and focused efforts, or else goals cannot be gotten.

The first thing observed about your research interest is that you assume that ChatGPT can be used in the field of language acquisition. I wonder how this can be possible other than refining knowledge and making it possible for use in such activities as assignments, exercises, papers, and other technical subtleties.

If the research interest posted was under the concept of language teaching/learning instead of language acquisition, my response could have been different, of course.

Anyway, with the introduction of ChatGPT, a new educational philosophy may be in order, or else people will get drowned with what has already been practiced undercover so to speak but publicly this time. For language teaching/learning, the advantages of ChatGPT is going to be miraculous and limitless in the near future; no doubt.

Like many other technology-based innovations, ChatGPT- 2 and 3 is an addition to language teaching research, language learning, teacher education, and language assessment. The new invention is mainly concerned with composition, giving way to dilemmas for educators and researchers. Even Google is dreadfully concerned! So it takes us to the unknown. Only empirical research will tell how far it takes us and in which directions! All that we have now are perceptions!

I am in agreement with Dr. Mutee al-Sarory's opinion

Dear respondents, thank you for your fruitful answers. This study tries to build a construct about the ChatGPT which future research on language learning/acquision starts from.

ChatGPT has the power to completely change how people learn languages. Real-time user discussions are generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) system. There are several methods to use ChatGPT for language learning. It might serve as an interactive instructor, for instance, offering advice and comments as students practice having conversations. It can also be used as a substitute for a real conversation partner, giving students the opportunity to hone their speaking abilities without having to locate a native speaker of their chosen language.

Dear RG users. I have used ChatGPT a few times already. Also to research who I am according to this program. Then it turned out that ChatGPT only contains data up to 2021. Carl

ChatGPT is a GAME-CHANGER when it comes to language learning.

Especially if you want to practice speaking English on your own.

Used the right way, ChatGPT will simplify, enhance, and optimize your English practice, and most importantly, save you a lot of time...

https://hadarshemesh.com/magazine/chatgpt-for-learning-english/

The impact of ChatGPT on language acquisition is currently unclear and the subject of ongoing research and discussion. On one hand, exposure to large amounts of diverse language through ChatGPT may help language learners to develop their vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills. On the other hand, relying too heavily on ChatGPT as a language learning tool may discourage learners from practicing the language in real-life situations and speaking with native speakers, which is crucial for building conversational skills and fluency.

Ultimately, the impact of ChatGPT on language acquisition may depend on how it is used and integrated into the language learning process. As with any technology or tool, it is important to use ChatGPT in a way that supports and enhances, rather than replaces, traditional language learning methods.

The traditional education system which is standardized in Vietnam and some countries will soon change to the trend of personalization with the participation of ChatGPT in particular and AI (artificial intelligence) in general. Thanks to AI, learners will have a review schedule that is tailored to their individual characteristics to the fullest extent, as well as being completely met with immediate needs, ChatGPT artificial intelligence will change the role of teachers From this perspective, the modern education system will have a "tripod", including AI tools to meet the needs of teaching, teachers, and social relationships. In this scenario, teachers will have to transfer their roles from a person who directly imparts knowledge to someone who directs students to use AI, coordinates group activities in the class, and advises AI's operating model for skills. Technicians in a manner that is appropriate for educational purposes". Therefore, teachers must be better and more knowledgeable if they don't want to face unemployment or be "overtaken" by students, especially in exams. "Education is not just "selling" knowledge to customers, but it must comprise of both teaching and caring. How to train students' morality and personality in the development of technology, especially AI, should be highly emphasized.

It will lead to the change of students' learning style, and the use of ChatGPT will play an auxiliary role in students' learning. It improves the frequency of language use. From my point of view, this is of great help to those who learn languages by themselves.

How will ChatGPT influence and impact language education?

In any case, this blog post will be a deep dive into ChatGPT – we’ll start by looking at what it actually is and does; we’ll consider what value it could bring to language educators and schools before closing with some thoughts on its future impact on language learning and teaching...

https://sanako.com/how-will-chatgpt-influence-and-impact-language-education

I totally agree that it is a game changer. If we use it in a smart way it will assist language learning and communication enormously

It seems to me that by "Language Acquisition," one refers to an individual's acquisition. On the other hand, if the instructional pedagogy can use artificial intelligence to present new materials, or to translate, then ChatGPT will serve as another tool, beyond that of Google or other computer-based translation engines.

Here is an example from Arabic, showing word-medial and word final vowel deletion in the jussive (completed verb negation):

قال، يقولُ، لَمْ يَقُلْ| بَكَى، يَبْكِي، لَمْ يَبْكِ

/qaala, yaquulu, lam yaqul/ (He said, He says|is saying, He did not say).

/bakaa, yabkii, lam yabki/ (He wept [cried], He weeps|is weeping, He did not weep).

To get the correct vocalization in the jussive, properly-programmed software would enable the Arabic learner to respond to a question, prompt, or series thereof without completely knowing or understanding what s|he is doing. With practice, then, ChatGPT could assist in language learning, similar to how dusing a calculator to perform difficult and complex mathematical calculations.

For original, naturally-produced verb conjugations, more internalization is necessary. For complex verb conjugations, the installation of a hard-wired chip into an L2 learner's brain, will be an obvious future development to enhance and facilitate production.

As an EFL/ESL teacher, I think that the ChatGPT will distroy creativity and passion within the learners.

What ChatGPT means for linguistic diversity and language learning

While students delight in writing essays using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, hoping to save time and effort, experts in linguistics warn that widespread use of ChatGPT around the world could reduce linguistic as well as stylistic diversity. Some have noted that once ChatGPT and other AI-assisted tools are more widely used in education, the gap between the languages where such tools work well and those where it does not will become larger, and in some scenarios create a new global educational and digital divide based on language...

There is no research on the impact of ChatGPT on language acquisition. However, there are many studies on the use of chatbots in language learning. Chatbots can be used to improve language skills by providing learners with opportunities to practice speaking and writing in a low-stress environment. They can also be used to provide feedback on grammar and vocabulary.

Preprint Foreign Language Learning Assessment in the Age of ChatGPT: ...

In the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age now, foreign language learners can get unlimited support on their learning tasks from advanced AI chatbots, primarily the ChatGPT. At the same time, such a language chatbot intensified the importance of rethinking learning outcome assessment...

This paper reports on alternative assessments regarding their nature, forms, characteristics, advantages, and integration into L2 programs. It establishes a foundational theoretical account for future research that would take place when ChatGPT becomes commonplace in the worldwide L2 contexts. It charts new research territories and passes the torch to second and foreign-language learning assessors to reflect on their teaching situations and re-imagine their L2 programs in light of the affordances of the ChatGPT, which has made a significant breakthrough in learning and teaching languages...

What is your experience with ChatGPT so far? Are you satisfied as a teacher? Some worries...

I'm a German teacher and am using chatbots with my students... we'll see what they actually mean about AI in language learning.

As a language teacher, I believe that we have to collaborate with our students to find fruitful ways to integrate AI in the language learning and teaching process. I will probably focus more on the oral production, to make sure that deep learning takes place. If students can articulate themselves orally in correct way, writing will fall easier for them.

ChatGPT can be a powerful tool for language learning. It can provide learners with access to a vast array of learning materials. It simulates real-life situations and promotes authentic language use. Increased exposure to the target language can speed up language processing and enhance language proficiency.

The study also found that the participants recognized both positive and negative aspects of using ChatGPT in translation. Findings also indicated that ChatGPT, as a recent AI-based translation-related technology, is more valuable for mechanical processes of writing and editing translated texts than for tasks requiring judgment, such as fine-tuning and double-checking. While it offers various advantages, AI also presents new challenges that educators and stakeholders need to address accordingly...

Some non-English-speaking countries fear being left behind when it comes to benefitting in work, education and research from the speed and efficiency that is promised by developments in generative AI. Or they risk being dominated by big tech companies in the United States which have the computing power, financing and, above all, the data required to produce ChatGPT-like models.

But there may be shortcuts for countries and language groups that do not have access to the huge amount of data that fuels so-called large language models (LLMs) – a deep learning algorithm that performs natural language processing used in generating text, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT ...

These models are not merely trying to imitate OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but are building on automated translation models that do not require as much computing power and data as LLMs. They are also easier to adapt or examine for faults if they produce distorted or inaccurate results...
