Abstract : The incorporation of technology into language education has gained considerable importance, with tools such as ChatGPT playing a pivotal role in facilitating language acquisition. This research specifically examines the effects of ChatGPT on English language learning among students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL), with the objective of addressing a gap in the existing literature regarding its efficacy in educational contexts. The study utilizes a cross-sectional survey methodology to collect data from EFL students enrolled in English language programs in Khaf city. The primary emphasis is on assessing students' perceptions of ChatGPT's impact on their overall language proficiency and the degree to which it contributes to the development of various language skills. The findings reveal that the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies, particularly ChatGPT, has significantly altered language learning approaches. The model exhibits proficiency in processing information and effectively assists learners in improving their listening, reading, speaking, and writing abilities. The study concludes that ChatGPT has a beneficial effect on language acquisition, particularly in enhancing learners' vocabulary and overall language competencies.

Keywords : ChatGPT, Open AI, Engagement, Motivation, Language Skills Acquisition.
