Previous studies demonstrate that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) dialogue systems for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has effectively improved university students' reading, writing, and listening abilities. However, there are limited systematic reviews focused on the evidence-based interactional competence of EFL university students. This study aims to examine the use of AI dialogue systems to enhance EFL university students' interactional competence. Through the PRISMA process, this study identified 28 articles published between January 2013 and August 2022 in journals and conferences from the most popular databases, including Google Scholar, ProQuest, IEEE,...

Resumen:

Artículo divulgativo del Dickinson College que explica qué es la recuperación aumentada por generación (RAG) y por qué importa en la enseñanza de lenguas: la diferencia entre un modelo que responde con lo que sabe y uno que consulta los documentos del curso antes de responder. El problema de partida es conocido —los chatbots contestan con vocabulario y estructuras muy por encima del nivel del grupo— y la instrucción de ceñirse a unas páginas del manual no basta para evitarlo.

Los autores lo muestran con un caso práctico de chino: un personaje conversacional creado en Mizou, con su prompt de configuración completo, al que se pide usar solo el vocabulario y la gramática de las cincuenta primeras páginas del manual. La comparación de la misma respuesta con RAG y sin él deja ver el...

Resumen:

Chatbots are able to produce high-quality, sophisticated text in natural language. The authors of this paper believe that AI can be used to overcome three barriers to learning in the classroom: improving transfer, breaking the illusion of explanatory depth, and training students to critically evaluate explanations. The paper provides background information and techniques on how AI can be used to overcome these barriers and includes prompts and assignments that teachers can incorporate into their teaching. The goal is to help teachers use the capabilities and drawbacks of AI to improve learning.

Tres barreras del aprendizaje: el trabajo propone usar la IA para superar tres obstáculos habituales en el aula —mejorar la transferencia de lo aprendido a situaciones nuevas, romper la ilusión de...

This systematic review investigates how students' over-reliance on AI dialogue systems affects their critical cognitive capabilities, including decision-making, critical thinking, and analytical reasoning. Over-reliance on AI occurs when users accept AI-generated recommendations without question, typically when individuals struggle to assess the reliability of AI or how much trust to place in its suggestions. Following PRISMA guidelines, the review evaluated 14 articles from ProQuest, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect and Web of Science. The findings indicate that over-reliance stemming from ethical issues of AI impacts cognitive abilities, as individuals increasingly favor fast and optimal...

This systematic review explores the efficacy of AI-driven chatbots in second language (L2) acquisition and examines their pedagogical implications. Synthesizing findings from 30 empirical studies published between 2020 and 2024, this review investigates the impact of chatbots use across core language skills, including speaking, writing, reading, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. Results indicate notable improvements in learners' productive and receptive skills, especially in speaking and writing, due to features such as real-time feedback, anxiety reduction, and increase practice opportunities. While reading and listening also showed positive outcomes, their development was often...

This study investigates the potential of AI chatbots as practice partners in the context of EFL secondary school students' self-directed learning of conversation skills. Using the Dialogflow CX Console at Google Cloud Platform, we designed two sets of AI chatbots based on two target dialogues. A total of 112 eighth-graders at a public middle school in South Korea were divided into two experimental groups: a chatbot group and a worksheet group. The two groups practiced the target dialogues in self-directed activities with chatbots or worksheets and evaluated the quality of the activities in a questionnaire. In addition, their improvements in...

There are obvious benefits to integrating generative AI into language learning and teaching: using AI as a language tutor, creating learning materials, or assessing learner output. However, due to how AI systems understand human language —based on a mathematical model using statistical probability— they lack the lived experience to use language with the same social awareness as humans. Additionally, there are built-in linguistic and cultural biases based on training data which is mostly in English and predominantly from Western sources. Studies have clearly shown that systems such as ChatGPT often do not produce language that is pragmatically appropriate.

Generative AI tools provide opportunities for personalizing and improving the education process. This paper analyzes the tool Brisk Teaching, used in the courses Information and Communication Technologies and E-Business during the academic year 2024/25 at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management. After recognizing weak points in students' knowledge, the authors implemented chatbots to help students learn and to provide professors with quick feedback on student progress. The paper examines the connection between students' activity with the GenAI tool and the results achieved in the knowledge test: students were very satisfied with its implementation and believe it provides additional motivation for learning.

Examines the effects of ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode on the development of university students' oral proficiency. Following a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the study measured improvement over an 8-week intervention and then gathered learners' perspectives through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings showed that fluency and lexical resources increased significantly, but pronunciation did not. The qualitative data focus on three themes: the potential of AI for low-anxiety practice, learners' frustration with the lack of nuanced feedback on accent, and difficulties with real-time corrective functions. The authors propose a «Mixed Dialogical Model» combining...

Resumen:

The use of chatbots as learning assistants is receiving increasing attention in language learning due to their ability to converse with students using natural language. Previous reviews mainly focused on only one or two narrow aspects of chatbot use in language learning. This review goes beyond merely reporting the specific types of chatbot employed in past empirical studies and examines the usefulness of chatbots in language learning, including first language learning, second language learning, and foreign language learning. We conducted a systematic search and identified 25 empirical studies, using the inductive grounded approach to identify the technological and pedagogical affordances and the challenges of using chatbots, and Garrison's social presence framework to analyze the social affordances.
