This study explored the effectiveness of ChatGPT-generated translations as a tool to assess Korean EFL learners’ understanding of English perfect tenses. Learners evaluated the grammatical accuracy of English sentences generated by ChatGPT based on Korean source texts. Results showed that learners better understood past perfect and future perfect tenses, especially when clear temporal markers were present, while present perfect and perfect progressive forms were more challenging. Learners who preferred ChatGPT-assisted learning performed better than those using traditional grammar-based methods, suggesting that AI can enhance both comprehension and metalinguistic reflection. The findings indicate that integrating AI tools into instruction can help bridge the gap between grammatical form and contextual meaning. Future research should examine whether these benefits extend to productive skills such as speaking and writing, and whether gains are sustained over time. Expanding the approach to other grammar areas and exploring how learners interact with AI could offer deeper insight into the cognitive and pedagogical impact of AI-assisted language learning.
