“…The privacy of chatbots also made the students feel relaxed because they were not afraid anymore of having bad grammar in chatting, as the chatbot was always ready to answer anything even with bad usage of grammar. In other words, the students' testimony aligns with the study implemented by (Annamalai et al, 2023), who also considered that chatbots have sufficient benefits to fulfill the role of an interlocutor in the context of English language acquisition.…”

Our world continues to become increasingly connected. The use of technology has become a must in this modern era to live accordingly. The requirement to use technology also widens the world of teaching, especially in teaching English. Nowadays, all generations of educators, whether young or old generations are expected to utilize technologies in their respective classrooms in an attempt to facilitate students with the newest atmosphere of the teaching and learning process. Speaking of those, chatbots are one of the technologies that can be engaged in English language teaching and learning. Relying on the huge benefit and easiness of implementation, the use of chatbots could be the leading technology for teachers to promote modern language learning. In this literature review-based research paper, the writers would like to encourage the use of chatbots in English language teaching as a medium for teachers to promote modern language learning.

“…Given that a large part of communication in digital media, particularly social networks, is conducted in English today, many authors have researched using digital tools to enhance proficiency in English (El-Henawy, 2019;Kim, 2018), including AI and chatbots (Annamalai et al, 2023). On the other hand, others have also emphasized the need to develop higher English proficiency to understand media messages better (Hickey et al, 2016;Westman, 2019).…”

The paper presents the results of the research conducted with students in the first year of the Early Childhood and Preschool Education graduate study programme at the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb. The aim of the research was to examine future preschool teachers' experiences with English in their daily use and in preparing their theses and to gain insight into their plans for future professional development. The results showed that future preschool teachers use traditional sources of knowledge, such as books, textbooks, scientific and professional journals, and other types of texts and tools, such as news articles, Google Search and similar engines, and social networks. In addition, it was determined that almost half of the respondents do not plan to use academic texts in their future careers as primary forms of lifelong learning and professional development.Although the respondents evaluated their media literacy, information literacy, and command of English with high marks, they had difficulty critically evaluating the reliability and credibility of academic, journalistic, and AIgenerated texts in English.

The primary aim of this research is to investigate the influence of AI-driven technology, such as chatbots, on the acquisition of English as a foreign language among undergraduate students currently enrolled at Najran University. The present study examines the reported benefits, academic accomplishments, challenges, and overall satisfaction of using chatbots for English language acquisition. However, the process of gathering data for language proficiency assessments is commonly conducted by administering surveys. The surveys gathered measurable data on students' viewpoints regarding the benefits of employing chatbots, as well as their overall satisfaction with these solutions. The research assessed the influence of chatbots on the process of language acquisition by quantifying students' language abilities before and following the implementation of these technological resources. This study also investigates the challenges and limitations associated with implementing chatbots. This study also aims to identify the obstacles associated with chatbot-based language learning systems to get insights into areas that can be enhanced. The findings inform the design and implementation of more effective language learning systems. The research findings significantly contribute to the existing academic literature on novel approaches to foreign language acquisition (FLA) in higher education contexts. The results obtained from this study offer significant insights to educators specializing in language instruction, developers responsible for designing curriculum, and technology experts interested in the effectiveness and limitations of artificial intelligence technologies and chatbots in enhancing the English language learning process. However, the research provides empirically supported recommendations for integrating chatbots into language learning instructional methods and optimizing the effectiveness and involvement of FLA encounters for undergraduate students at Najran University and comparable educational establishments.
