Abstract

This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in English language learning and assessment among university students, focusing on its impact on the accuracy, efficiency, and comprehensiveness of evaluating speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Utilizing a quantitative research design with an online questionnaire, data was collected from students actively using AI in their academic pursuits. Adopting a cross-sectional survey methodology, the study investigates how AI-driven assessments can enhance learning by providing instant feedback, streamlining evaluation processes, and potentially reducing the burden on educators. The findings suggest that AI offers promising opportunities to support language acquisition through automated scoring systems and personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs. However, concerns persist regarding the reliability, fairness, and accuracy of AI-generated assessments, raising the need for standardized frameworks to ensure validity and minimize biases. The study also highlights the necessity of addressing technical challenges, such as system errors and user adaptability, to optimize AI's effectiveness in educational settings. Furthermore, successful AI implementation in language assessment requires comprehensive training programs to familiarize students and educators with the technology, fostering confidence and competence in its use. By expanding the knowledge of AI's role in education, this study underscores the importance of making informed, data-driven decisions regarding AI adoption in academic environments to maximize its benefits while mitigating potential risks.
