This research explores the impact of ChatGPT on language learning in higher education. ChatGPT is a large language model that can generate natural and fluent texts on many topics. It can be used to support students in developing reading and writing skills by providing personalized feedback and authentic language input. However, it sometimes struggles with complex or abstract ideas. The study discusses both the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in education, including concerns about replacing human teachers and ethical issues. Finally, the paper suggests directions for future research on ChatGPT-assisted language instruction.
