The Impact of Chatgpt On Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: Opportunities in Education and Research
The Impact of Chatgpt On Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: Opportunities in Education and Research
Introduction
In the fast-paced world of technology, it is rare for a new development to make waves
as quickly as ChatGPT has. In less than four months, this Artificial Intelligent (AI)-powered
language model has taken the world by storm, with everyone from researchers to casual
internet users buzzing about its capabilities. While the tech-savvy celebrate its incredible
functionality, the education field has stood in both amazement and apprehension. There is
extensive media coverage of cases of cheating and misconduct (Muskat, 2023; Peritz, 2022).
Following the worries over the use and misuse of ChatGPT, education institutes one after
another have announced bans on the use of the months-old chatbot (Reuters, 2023). Teachers
and school administrators see ChatGPT as opening Pandora’s box, posing threats to students’
development of critical thinking and writing abilities.
