چکیده :

This study explores the impact of ChatGPT, an AI-based language learning tool, on the speaking abilities of intermediate-level English language learners, focusing on complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined quantitative pre- and post-test score analysis with qualitative data from interviews and questionnaires. Sixty EFL learners were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (30 participants each). The experimental group practiced speaking with ChatGPT, while the control group received traditional instruction. Statistical analysis showed significant improvements in speaking complexity, accuracy, and fluency for the ChatGPT group compared to the control group. Participants highlighted personalized feedback and interactive practice as key benefits of using ChatGPT. These findings align with recent studies on AI-assisted language learning, demonstrating its potential to enhance oral proficiency and foster self-regulated learning. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on AI-based language education by emphasizing the integration of tools like ChatGPT into speaking instruction while maintaining a balance between technological support and autonomous skill development.
