Abstract

The field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is ever- evolving, and as such exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language teaching and learning is becoming increasingly important. AI-powered language learning tools, such as chatbots, are changing the way students learn and practice English. As these AI-powered chatbots gain momentum, educators worldwide discuss their potential implications on the process of language teaching. By examining the potential use of chatbots such as ChatGPT, this paper aims to contribute to the limited available literature on AI and TESOL and provide valuable insights for teachers on the benefits and challenges of incorporating AI in their daily work. Discussing the ways chatbots can enhance ESL/EFL classes, as well as the ways they can hinder the learning process, due to issues related to academic dishonesty, this paper highlights both the advantages and the disadvantages of such emerging technologies, as well as AI’s practical use in a classroom, in hopes to improve the language learning outcomes.
