Abstract

The latest advancements in AI are reshaping the way we learn foreign languages through listening comprehension. However, the empirical studies on how artificial intelligence in English listening teaching can effectively improve EFL learners' listening proficiency are still limited. To address this gap, this study aims to investigate the role of the AI-assisted New Concept English App as a tool in improving EFL listening. Based on a mixed methods approach, this study invited a total of 89 Chinese university students from three groups to participate in the experiment. Data obtained from five achievement tests and post-session interviews with the participants were collected, processed, and analyzed. The findings reveal that AI-assisted application does not imply a strong advantage in terms of improving overall student achievement in listening, in spite of the fact that the majority of students surveyed advocated embracing and fully using it.
