STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE (AI) IN ENGLISH: A CASE STUDY AT STAIN TEUNGKU DIRUNDENG

This study aims to determine students' perceptions of the using of Artificial Intelligent
(AI) in English language learning as well as the benefits and obstacles they find and
experience while using AI. The samples of this research are four students of English
Department of STAIN Teungku Dirundeng who have used Artificial Intelligent. This
research uses a qualitative method that uses criterion sampling to get a clearer picture
of the use of AI in English language learning by obtaining data through interviews.
The results show that students' perceptions of using AI are very helpful in doing the
tasks at hand. The use of AI is very limited so that students do not feel dependent on
using it. The advantages obtained by students in using AI are that AI provides positive
feedback, there are many variations or choices that can be used by students, and AI is
also an alternative solution compared to traditional methods. In addition, this study
found challenges or obstacles that students experience when using AI such as
different application displays between mobile phones and laptops, as well as other
obstacles such as poor connections.
