description.abstract:
This study explores the impact of an innovative approach that combines artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot support with collaborative note-taking (CNT) in the comprehension of semantic terms among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Given the significance of semantics in English language learning, traditional didactic methods often present challenges for EFL learners. The proposed AI chatbot-supported approach aims to foster learner interaction, while the CNT strategy focuses on enhancing knowledge retention and engagement with learning materials. Conducted as a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design, the study involved 60 English Language and Literature majors from a non-English-speaking area enrolled at a private university. Participants were divided into the AI chatbot-supported and CNT (AI-CNT) group and the conventional CNT (cCNT) group. Results indicated that the AI-CNT group outperformed the cCNT group across various dimensions of semantic learning outcomes, including performance, achievement, self-efficacy, metacognition, and anxiety reduction. This study highlights the potential of integrating AI chatbot support and the CNT strategy to significantly enhance the EFL semantic learning experience. The personalized and interaction-based linguistic practices, enriched with feedback and emotional support, offer a promising avenue for advancing language learning outcomes in the digital age.
