Original abstract

In the context of globalization and the increasing demand for international communication, the IELTS certificate plays a pivotal role in providing learners with access to global educational and employment opportunities. However, many students continue to struggle with language skills, particularly speaking, due to the tendency to speak without consciously considering the form of their language. This issue is especially prevalent in Vietnamese contexts where learners often lack sufficient practice environments. This case study was conducted with 12 learners at Active English Center in Da Nang, who practiced with ChatGPT over six weeks to improve grammatical accuracy in IELTS Speaking Part 3. A post-questionnaire was also administered to explore learner perceptions regarding the use of ChatGPT for speaking enhancement. Despite the small sample size, the findings indicate that ChatGPT significantly improves learners’ grammatical accuracy. The study offers practical insights for integrating AI tools into English language instruction and has implications for English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) contexts where learners face similar challenges in developing spoken accuracy.
