초록

Recently, teaching and learning methods by using multimedia in foreign language education have increased. Especially, Artificial Intelligent (AI) has been utilized variously in education as technology has developed. However, little research has been done to investigate the educational applications of AI system. Therefore, this study is to investigate the appropriateness of AI application in English learning by analyzing the data from AI speakers. Two AI speakers, Alxesa and Google home, were chosen and designed 12 questions were asked to AI speakers. The results of the research showed that the speakers’ utterance was too difficult and fast to understand for low and intermediate leveled English learners. However, sociocultural aspects, language pun or other rhetorical expressions were included in their utterance so that it could be used for high leveled English learners to be exposed to authentic English. On the technical point of view, this study suggested that successive turn-taking, various answers, and the feedback of language errors be considered for the future development of AI speakers for English education.
