ChatGPT, AI-facilitated English learning, undergraduate students, motivation, English learning strategies.Abstract
In the digital era, with the increasing development of technology, many undergraduate students use artificial intelligence as an auxiliary learning tool for learning English, such as improving spoken English, deepening their understanding of English grammar, etc. This study aims to discuss the impact of using ChatGPT on the four learning motivations of undergraduate students: extrinsic, intrinsic, achievement and social motivations. This study adopted a qualitative research approach, using interviews. Through thematic and content analyses, it examined college students' attitudes and opinions on using ChatGPT to learn English and explored the application and development of ChatGPT for future English learning. Previous research has shown that ChatGPT can promote autonomy in language learning. However, more research is needed on specific issues. The study will contribute to the possible factors that influenced by ChatGPT on English learning motivation, and it also provides the advantages and potential limitations of using ChatGPT by college students to improve English learning motivation, which can help college students better improve their English learning strategies.
