“…The present-day English language teaching and learning has been the witness of advanced development of information, communication, and technology (ICT). The emergence of various digital resources and technological tools offers ample opportunities for language learners to enhance their language skills and alters their learning styles to be more independent and self-regulated (Zhang et al, 2023). Using the emerging learning technologies, learners are able to learn and practice language anytime and anywhere as long as they are connected to the internet (Weng & Chiu, 2023).…”

The present study aims to unpack the potentials of ChatGPT for language learning based on students’ perspectives. Specifically, this study scrutinizes language learning needs that can be fulfilled by ChatGPT, potential benefits of ChatGPT, and limitations of ChatGPT for language education. Drawing on exploratory case study, this study involves 18 language students majoring in English education and linguistic studies from two public universities in Indonesia. The findings of semi-structured interviews and FGD reveal that ChatGPT shows great promise as a digital platform that can support personalize learning, stimulate authentic interactions, and boost student productivity. This study suggests that students can gain several advantages from ChatGPT to support their language learning, such as enhancing their writing skills (e.g., translation, paraphrasing, outlining, and receiving assistance with grammar and syntax), improving vocabulary acquisition, providing learning materials, and serving as conversation partner. However, students might encounter certain challenges when using ChatGPT for language learning, such as the risk of cheating and plagiarism, inaccurate responses, and ambiguous information which can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. This study offers fruitful insights for language education stakeholders (especially teachers and students) to enhance their digital competencies specifically related to the use of AI tools in language education.

The impact of digital technology on learning outcomes, specifically deep learning, has been a subject of considerable debate and scrutiny in educational settings. This study aims to provide clarity by conducting a meta-analysis of empirical publications that examine students' deep learning outcomes in relation to digital technology. A comprehensive search of databases and a thorough literature review yielded 60 high-quality, peer-reviewed journal articles that met the inclusion criteria. Using Review Manager 5.4.1 software, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the overall effectiveness of digital technology. The calculated effect size indicates a positive influence of digital technology on students' deep learning outcomes. Furthermore, a moderator variable analysis revealed several significant findings: 1. Different categories of digital technology tools have a favorable impact on deep learning outcomes; 2. The duration of digital technology treatment does not significantly affect deep learning outcomes; 3. Digital technology demonstrates a highly positive influence on deep learning within the humanities and social sciences disciplines; 4. Combining online and offline utilization of digital technology in education leads to a substantially greater enhancement in deep learning compared to relying solely on online methods; 5. The effectiveness of digital technology on deep learning is enhanced when accompanied by appropriate instructional guidance; 6. Utilizing digital technology in a systematic manner produces different outcomes compared to fragmented approaches, highlighting the importance of a cohesive implementation; 7. Integrating digital technology with collaborative learning has a more pronounced effect on deep learning compared to independent learning. These findings contribute to our understanding of the impact of digital technology on deep learning outcomes and underscore the importance of thoughtful integration and instructional support in educational contexts.
