Description

This study examines how ChatGPT, an AI tool, can make learning English easier and more fun for high school students. ChatGPT acts like a personal tutor, helping students write essays and practice speaking English. It gives quick feedback, which helps make learning more engaging and effective. Over one school year, we used ChatGPT in English classes at Nguyen Thai Hoc High School and measured its impact by testing students’ English skills before and after using the AI. Results from tests and feedback from students and teachers show that students got better at English. They could read better, understand more, and speak more fluently. They also enjoyed learning more. Teachers saw that students were more involved and remembered what they learned better.
This research follows teaching methods recommended by experts and looks at important issues like keeping student data safe and encouraging students to think for themselves. Our findings suggest that more schools should use AI tools like ChatGPT to teach English. This approach requires careful planning and regular checks to make sure it works well and keeps students interested.
