영문 초록

This study investigates the efficacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) conversation classes through a mixed-methods approach. It assessed AI’s impact on student engagement and language acquisition by analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data. Findings indicated that students using AI interactively experienced improved language skills and increased participation. Qualitative insights highlighted AI’s role in providing personalized feedback and facilitating learning, while also raising concerns about dependency on AI and its integration with conventional teaching approaches. The study underscores the need for a balanced implementation of AI in EFL settings to complement conventional language learning bringing along the least possible disadvantages in this context. It suggests further investigation into AI’s long-term effects across diverse educational contexts to maximize benefits for learners. This study contributes insights into how AI can effectively improve language education when thoughtfully integrated into the curriculum.
