THE USE OF CHATGPT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING: USAGE AND PERCEPTION AMONG SIXTH-SEMESTER STUDENTS

---

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has significantly transformed the way students engage with learning materials, particularly in language acquisition. Among various AI tools, ChatGPT has emerged as a widely used platform that offers instant feedback, personalized assistance, and flexible access to information. This study investigates the use of ChatGPT in English language learning, focusing on its usage patterns and student perceptions among sixth-semester students of the English Language Education Department at Universitas Islam Riau. The research aims to explore how ChatGPT supports the development of language skills and how students evaluate its effectiveness in their academic routines. A mixed-methods approach was employed to gain comprehensive insights. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 50 students, while qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 5 selected participants. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to interpret the quantitative responses, and thematic analysis was applied to the qualitative data to identify recurring patterns and meaningful reflections. The findings reveal that students frequently use ChatGPT to assist with reading and writing tasks, benefiting from its instant feedback, grammar correction, and vocabulary support. Many students reported increased motivation and confidence, especially when preparing for speaking activities or completing written assignments. ChatGPT was also perceived as a more engaging and accessible alternative to traditional learning resources. However, limitations were noted in speaking practice due to the absence of voice interaction, and concerns were raised about potential over-reliance on AI tools. Overall, the study concludes that ChatGPT contributes positively to English language learning when integrated thoughtfully, supporting both technical skill development and learner autonomy, while emphasizing the need for balanced use to preserve critical thinking and interpersonal engagement.
