Exploring the Contributing Factors to Integrate Artificial Intelligence in Teaching Transactional Speaking

Abstract

This study investigated the contributing factors in integrating the artificial intelligence-mediated communications into English language learning and teaching, with a focus on enhancing students’ transactional speaking skills. It aimed to identify key elements that support the implementation of artificial intelligence in English language teaching and promote its effectiveness. The findings revealed that both students and teacher showed positive attitudes toward seven contributing factors in the integration of artificial intelligence in teaching transactional speaking i.e., English-immersive setting, fluency in speaking, pronunciation improvement, grammar accuracy, teacher involvement, and active participation. These factors significantly influenced the successful integration of artificial intelligence in enhancing students’ transactional speaking skills.
