Using Artificial Intelligence Tool Gliglish To Improve Speaking Fluency for English Majors

Speaking fluency is an important aspect of speaking skills, which ensures coherence and confidence in expressing English language learners' speaking ability. However, many first-year university students feel they are not fluent in speaking. This study aimed to apply the AI tool Gliglish to improve speaking fluency for first-year English major students at Thai Nguyen University of Education. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental method, including an experimental group of students using the Gliglish tool for 8 weeks, practicing with a different speaking topic each week, and a control group continuing to use the traditional learning method. The pre- and post-intervention tests were used to analyze the improvement of the two groups. After applying this app, the experimental group scored higher than the control group. After the intervention, the participants completed a questionnaire to collect their opinions on the impact of Gliglish. The survey results indicated that most students in the experimental group noticed a significant improvement in their ability to use the AI Gliglish tool. This study's conclusion recommends integrating this AI tool into the speaking practice to enhance students' speaking fluency.
