Abstract

An overview of ChatGPT's use in English instruction within the framework of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approaches is given in this paper, along with an analysis of the implications for language learning. The development of language competency, interaction, and real-world communication are the main focuses of communicative language teaching. In order to improve language learning experiences, this research highlights the integration of ChatGPT, a potent language model, within the CLT framework. Key components of this integration – such as the usage of ChatGPT for real-time feedback, continuous practice, and adaptive learning – are succinctly described in the abstract. It also goes over ChatGPT's implications for individualized, effective, and entertaining English language training. The main focus is on how ChatGPT affects teaching methods, language learning, and student learning outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of technology-enhanced language education. Through qualitative and quantitative data analysis, the study explores how ChatGPT facilitates interactive language practice, fosters natural language production, and provides personalized feedback. Findings suggest that ChatGPT effectively supplements traditional language instruction by offering authentic language use scenarios and promoting autonomous learning. Implications for language educators and suggestions for future research are discussed.
