A Study on the effectiveness of AI Technology in Supporting English speaking skills among the Second-Year English Majors at HPU

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence this (AI) technology in supporting English speaking skills among second-year English majors at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology (HPU). This research is to explore how AI can help students improve their speaking skills. To collect information, the researcher used two main methods: a questionnaire and informal interviews for 35 students. The findings show that many students find AI tools helpful and easy to access, especially for regular practice and getting quick feedback. However, there are some challenges still existing. The study suggests that AI technology can be a useful support for improving speaking skills, but it should be used together with traditional learning methods. Some recommendations for better use of AI in speaking practice and directions for future research are also included.
