ChatGPT in Language Learning: Perspectives from Vietnamese Students in Vietnam and the USA

ChatGPT is seen as an Artificial Intelligence application of OpenAI in the industrial era 4.0. ChatGPT has been identified as possibly being used in a variety of disciplines, including education. Previous research has shown that employing ChatGPT as a learning helper can help students enhance their learner autonomy, research, and scholarship. Furthermore, studies discovered that ChatGPT poses several obstacles to learners, particularly those beginning to write, such as illusions and potential illicit authorship and copyright. Consider that there are few studies conducted in Vietnam on this topic. This study aims to identify the limitations of Chat GPT that people typically encounter when studying writing, particularly in the Research Writing Course, and explore whether Chat GPT helps learners improve writing outcomes. The author discovered qualitative data from interviews with seven Master Course students, indicating that despite the numerous problems that students frequently face when utilizing ChatGPT, this platform can help them improve their writing abilities.

Paraphrasing is considered an important skill for postgraduates in their journey toward pursuing an academic degree. This skill helps postgraduates avoid plagiarism and showcases their ability to analyze, research, and perform academic writing tasks. Although numerous studies have determined the importance of this skill, most postgraduates still frequently need help in achieving paraphrasing proficiency. The emergence of QuillBot, an AI-powered paraphrasing tool, is a potential solution for these frequent challenges in learning paraphrasing skills. The overall benefits of QuillBot on the academic writing skills of English learners have been recognized and proven in various studies. However, only some studies have delved into how QuillBot assists postgraduates who took part in improving their paraphrasing skills, serving the academic genre of writing. Therefore, this study recruited twenty English-majored postgraduates to investigate.

In recent years, the possibility of enhancing speaking skills has drawn some serious attention from the language education field as AI-powered tools such as chatbots—such as ChatGPT—gain in popularity. While questions remain about their long-term efficacy, their potential to deliver real-time feedback is especially important in non-Western countries like Vietnam. This paper explores AI avatars' potential for overcoming traditional language learning issues—apprehension, inadequate speaking practice, and low levels of quality feedback customization. This research study focuses on the potential of artificial intelligence tools for language learners and the challenges in making meaningful, authentic conversational interactions with cultural adaptability and scalability through deep analysis of existing research and real-world applications. In light of this, the paper emphasizes that more research must be conducted to improve the use of AI avatars within varied educational settings and enhance their impact on oral communication abilities.
