The effect of artificial intelligence-supported materials on academic achievement in English teaching

This research investigates the effect of artificial intelligence supported teaching and learning material on students' academic achievement in English language preparatory program at a university. Quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. It compared two groups of students: one group is taught English through Web 2.0 tools and the other group is taught with AI supported learning platforms. The results shows that the group with the AI supported platforms showed higher academic performance in the University Proficiency of Academic English (OPAE) exam, while other group with the 2.0 Web tools did not reach the scores of AI supported group. The findings emphasizes the importance of artificial intelligence supported materials which provides feedback, tailored instruction, and adaptive learning environment.The study's conclusion emphasizes that language instruction enriched by artificial intelligence results in far better learning outcomes compared to Web 2.0 tools. In addition, performance disparity between the genders was looked into and the AI-supported education group exhibited a narrower gender gap.This seems to stem from the way such systems work; they create a type of individualized learning experience. The other point is that the AI-enhanced systems d get the students more actively engaged with the materials. When the systems are used properly, they lead to a kind of 'student ownership' of the learning experience.
