Abstract
PurposeThe proliferation of ChatGPT, as in many other digital technologies and social media, has increasingly impacted many aspects of modern life, including second and foreign language education. This study, building on a common theoretical position of all these advances in Artificial intelligence (AI), seeks to establish a model for ChatGPT research on English language learning. It specifically explores the dimensions in which ChatGPT aids students in their English language learning.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts grounded theory in collecting and analyzing data from 20 ResearchGater (RG) through a two-week RG discussion about ChatGPT uses in their language learning contexts. Data collected via the discussion was analyzed thematically.FindingsPreliminary findings show that ChatGPT can be used in developing learners' language skills; scaffolding the learning process by providing feedback to students on their language use and acting as partners in practicing language with recommended activities for more language practice.Originality/valueThe study contributes a five-dimension model for artificial intelligence assisted language learning (AIALL). The model involves flexible teacher's role to consolidate learner autonomy and provide enjoyable learning, urges future innovation, and celebrates various applications. Examining the AIALL model of ChatGPT for language learning, teachers should provide some directions for properly using this new application.
