Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the use of AI tools in English Language Class and its impact on the learning engagement
of students at Vinschool Hanoi, Vietnam. The respondents of the study were students at Vinschool Hanoi, Vietnam.
The researcher purposively selects forty (40) students. The respondents determined the common artificial intelligence
tools used by English language teachers and assess the level of learning engagement of students before and after the
use of Artificial Intelligence tools in English Language class in terms of participation and involvement, motivation
and interest, collaboration and communication, skill development, and feedback utilization. Moreso, the researcher
utilized the level of performance of students as revealed by their final grade in English. The researcher used the nonprobability
sampling utilizing the purposive sampling technique in determining the respondents of the study. The
findings revealed that English teachers employ AI tools like Flipped Classroom platforms, Grammarly, and Kahoot.
Also, students exhibit significant engagement with artificial intelligence tools in English language classes including
participation, motivation, collaboration, skill growth, and feedback application. Moreso, the level of learning
engagement of students in English Language class before and after the use of Artificial Intelligence tools is
significantly unique in terms of motivation and interest, engagement and participation, collaboration and
communication, skill development, and feedback utilization. The utilization of AI techniques has a profound effect on
the level of student engagement with English language education. Further, high performance and fluency in the
English language are demonstrated by the students' final English grades. Moreover, a substantial correlation exists
between the degree of learning facilitated by Artificial Intelligence technologies and the academic success of pupils,
as indicated by their final grades in English. As an outcome of the findings and the conclusions, the following
recommendations were enumerated: Teachers may use AI-powered applications to complement traditional teaching
methods, tailoring activities that promote active participation and personalized learning experiences. Students may
engage actively with AI applications by setting clear goals, such as mastering vocabulary or improving pronunciation,
fostering a sense of ownership in their learning. School administrators may invest in infrastructure and devices to
bridge the digital divide, making AI tools accessible to all students regardless of socioeconomic status.
