Abstract

The study conducted in the centre of Vietnam in 2023 aims to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the application of ChatGPT in developing students’ English language. The research was grounded on the Technology Acceptance Model developed by Davis (1998) and further revised by Shoufan (2023). The quantitative approach was selected for the study with the questionnaire as the instrument. 369 English-majored students who have experienced using ChatGPT in language learning were selected for the study. The findings reveal that although students found it easy to use ChatGPT as well as perceived it as a useful tool for their language learning, they had neutral opinions on its usefulness. Furthermore, students had a high level of attitudes towards the use of ChatGPT in language learning while the negative attitudes towards it were found to be at a low level. While genders were recognised not to have impacts on students’ perceptions, class levels had significant effects on those of students It is highly recommended that teaching strategies, careful monitoring, and a balance between the use of ChatGPT and human interaction should be under consideration for an effective adoption of ChatGPT in language learning and teaching.

语言学习中的生成人工智能和 ChatGPT：EFL 学生对技术接受度的看法

本研究于 2023 年在越南中部进行，旨在探讨学习英语的学生对 ChatGPT 在发展学生英语语言方面的应用的看法。研究以 Davis（1998 年）提出的技术接受模型为基础，并由 Shoufan（2023 年）进一步修订。研究采用定量方法，以问卷为工具。研究选取了 369 名在语言学习中使用过 ChatGPT 的英语专业学生。研究结果表明，虽然学生们认为使用 ChatGPT 很容易，而且认为它是语言学习的有用工具，但他们对 ChatGPT 的实用性持中立态度。此外，学生们对在语言学习中使用 ChatGPT 持有较高的态度，而对它的负面态度则较低。我们强烈建议，要在语言学习和教学中有效地使用 ChatGPT，应考虑教学策略、仔细监测以及在使用 ChatGPT 和人际互动之间取得平衡。
