Abstract

AI technology applications in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning provide new opportunities to mpprove language skills in a personalized and adaptable way. Media such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, ELSA Speak, and Duolingo provide AI-assisted learning and have become popular in helping users develop their writing, reading, speaking, and listening skills. Consequently, this study intends to investigate the ways in which EFL learners utilize AI-assisted learning media for the advancement of their proficiency in the English language, such as the types of media used, contributions, challenges, responsible use strategies. This study utilized a qualitative descriptive approach carried out at UIN Kediri. The subjects of the study are ten students of the eighth semester of the English Education Department who were selected using purposive sampling. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the interactive model by Miles et al. (2014) encompasses data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results show that students used various AI-assisted learning media, with ChatGPT as the most widely used AI-assisted learning media given its multifunctional features. Through grammar correction, idea development and organization, AI supports writing skills. The reading skills are also nurtured by the means of simplifying texts, finding main ideas and honing vocabulary. AI also helps in speaking with pronunciation practice, feedback and confidence building, while strengthens listening skills using repeated exposure and audio-text support. But students were also challenged with technical issues, and accuracy and dependency on AI. Faced with these challenges, students use strategies like combining AI with independent learning, verifying what the AI generates and using responsible practices in their use of AI as a supportive learning leaning media.
