초록

This study aims to examine the effects of using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based speaking application (app) for English speaking courses on Korean EFL learners’ speaking skills and their affective attitudes such as motivation, interest, and confidence. Over a semester (16 weeks), a total of 50 students participated in the study. They are assigned to an experimental group who participated in AI app-assisted speaking activities and to a control group who engaged in the speaking activities without the aid of a smartphone app. To collect the data, 1) a pre- and post-test on speaking skills and 2) a pre- and post-survey on affective attitudes were conducted for both groups. The results indicated that an AI app-assisted learning group has shown significant development in speaking skills when compared to the control group. In particular, AI app-assisted learning group’s speaking abilities concerned with vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation were significantly enhanced. This study also revealed that the AI app-based speaking instruction was effective in improving the students’ affective attitudes such as motivation, interest, and confidence. The results supported that AI app-assisted speaking instruction is an effective way to develop students’ speaking skills and affective attitudes and is more effective than the traditional speaking instruction.
