一句话总结

本论文讨论将 ChatGPT 与语音助手相结合，以支持基于口语的对话学习并提升英语作为外语（EFL）学习者的交际能力。

ABSTRACT

Chat GPT belongs to the category of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) language models, which have received specialized training to produce text based on natural language inputs. Its purpose is to imitate human-like conversation and can be implemented in multiple applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and language translation systems, starting with an introduction to the new trends and differences between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and artificial neural networks, and highlighting the rigorous language logic and powerful text generation capabilities of Chat GPT. This paper delves into how advances in artificial intelligence will shape e-learning in the coming decades, particularly in terms of Chat- GPT's ability to improve learners' Communicative Competence when English is a second language. The combination of new trends in artificial intelligence, mainly in the particular case of English as a second language, and, at the academic level, chatbot technology, will be the next step in the replacement of the human academic community by virtual assistants, apparently until a certain point. Despite the controversy, this very innovative solution will be able to bridge the gap between technology and education. Moreover, such innovative practices facilitate communication by enabling its inclusion in various applications, including virtual assistants, chatbots, and language education.
