This study aims to determine whether MALL directed by artificial intelligence positively affects second language (L2) learning. By comparing the effects of human-directed MALL, this study particularly explores the effectiveness of AI-directed MALL in increasing L2 comprehension skills. The participants were 98 freshmen who were taking a TOEIC course at a university in Korea. For the treatment, they were divided into the AI-directed MALL group (n = 51) and the human-directed MALL group (n = 47) at random. According to their treatment conditions, the participants took the online learning course with their mobile phones directed by either the AI or the human teacher. At the beginning and the end of the study, pre and post-TOEIC tests were administered. Paired-samples t-tests as well as independent samples t-tests were run to compare the mean scores. The findings reveal that all participants in both two groups increased their test scores at a significance level. However, there was a statistically significant difference in mean scores between the two groups. The AI-directed MALL group outperformed the human-directed MALL group. Based on these findings, implications are discussed.
Abstract
This study aims to determine whether MALL directed by artificial intelligence positively affects second language (L2) learning. By comparing the effects of human-directed MALL, this study particularly explores the effectiveness of AI-directed MALL in increasing L2 comprehension skills. The participants were 98 freshmen who were taking a TOEIC course at a university in Korea. For the treatment, they were divided into the AI-directed MALL group (n = 51) and the human-directed MALL group (n = 47) at random. According to their treatment conditions, the participants took the online learning course with their mobile phones directed by either the AI or the human teacher. At the beginning and the end of the study, pre and post-TOEIC tests were administered. Paired-samples t-tests as well as independent samples t-tests were run to compare the mean scores. The findings reveal that all participants in both two groups increased their test scores at a significance level. However, there was a statistically significant difference in mean scores between the two groups. The AI-directed MALL group outperformed the human-directed MALL group. Based on these findings, implications are discussed.
