AI chatbot-based learning: alleviating students' anxiety in english writing classroom

Abstract

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, integrating innovative technologies can enhance the learning experience for students. ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language processing tool developed by OpenAI, offers exciting possibilities for teaching writing. This advanced AI model can be a powerful asset in the classroom, providing students with valuable resources and support as they develop their writing skills. Seventy-three college students participated in the quasi-experiment. The findings demonstrate that AI chatbot-based instruction reduces students' anxiety about learning English writing. AI chatbots offer instant feedback, allowing students to correct errors immediately. This quick feedback loop can prevent students from ruminating over their mistakes, thus reducing anxiety. With AI chatbot, students can learn at their own pace. They can take time to understand concepts, practice writing, and receive feedback without feeling rushed. This flexibility can alleviate the pressure of strict deadlines in traditional classroom settings. The findings imply teachers to implement chatbot-based learning in the classroom.

Harnessing AI Chatbots for EFL Essay Writing: A Paradigm Shift in Language Pedagogy

“…According to this theory, learners subconsciously absorb language when they encounter language input that is just above their existing level of proficiency. AI chatbots can provide learners with tailored input that is comprehensible and engaging, supporting language acquisition by exposing learners to meaningful language input, facilitating language practice, and reducing students' anxiety (Hawanti & Zubaydulloevna, 2023).…”

Cognition-Based Document Matching Within the Chatbot Modeling Framework

“…The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has played a central role in advancing chatbot technology significantly [8]. The integration of AI into chatbot development has resulted in tremendous progress in terms of human-machine interactions that are increasingly similar to interactions between humans [9], [10]. The use of natural language processing (NLP) techniques in chatbots has allowed the system to understand and respond to user requests and questions in a more natural and contextual way [11].…”
