THE EFFECT OF USING AI APPLICATIONS TO DEVELOP EFL LISTENING COMPREHENSION SKILLS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The current study sought to determine how well university students' EFL listening comprehension skills may be developed by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. One hundred students participated in the study, split into two groups: the control group (N = 50), which received traditional education, and the experimental group (N = 50), which received instruction using artificial intelligence systems. The study's instruments included an EFL listening comprehension skills checklist to determine which listening skills are most important for first-year college students to acquire. a pre-post listening skills test to measure students' listening abilities before and after using the chatbot and Duoling AI applications and a correction rubric . A statistical analysis was conducted to confirm the study's hypotheses. Findings of the study revealed that the experimental group students' EFL listening skills were enhanced as a result of using the Artificial Intelligence (chatbot and Duoling).
