Impact of Artificial Intelligence to Tertiary Students’ English Language Learning Achievement

Abstract

The impact of AI-mediated language instruction on English learning achievement among tertiary learners of Cebu Normal University was investigated in this mixed methods study. This paper looked into the growing popularity of AI-driven learning tools and their potential for transforming language instruction.

In all, fifty-eight (58) freshmen students from two whole classes who were randomly selected. There were thirty (30) students from the BSEd English and twenty-eight (28) students from the BA English Language who took part in the research. This was conducted during the First Semester of Academic Year 2022-2023. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was used to facilitate the training of the experimental group, while conventional language teaching was given to the control group. The proficiency of the students in learning English in a number of areas, such as grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing abilities, was assessed which include pre-test and post-test.

An examination of twenty-eight (28) students from the experimental group's semi-structured interviews through qualitative analysis revealed the AI platform's innovative impact. In the end, it was discovered to increase motivation and promote self-regulated learning by improving engagement and providing tailored learning experiences. The aforementioned results underscore the capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance language acquisition results, inspire students, and foster independence.

Researchers and teachers that are interested in integrating AI-powered platforms into language classes may find this study to be a useful resource as it advances evidence-based language education. As well as demonstrating the beneficial effects of AI-driven educational technology in the field of language education, the results lend credence to the idea that AI-mediated language training has promise for completely changing language acquisition.
