Attitudes to the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Language Learning: The Case of Chatbots in Saudi Arabia

scope and capabilities have led people of all ages and abilities to employ it in many of their activities.
Language learning is a lifetime experience that could benefit from the use of AI and thus it is worth
exploring people’s awareness of this technology and its implications. Thus, this study aims to explore
attitudes to AI chatbots and its usability in language learning in Saudi Arabia. The results showed
favorable attitudes among most participants towards using AI chatbots in language learning. ChatGPT,
Google Translate, and Duolingo are the AI chatbots best recognized and viewed as the most usable

chatbots. It seems that the merits of employing AI chatbots in language learning are greater than
the drawbacks. Further research is needed to explore the challenges, potential threats and future
expectations related to the application of AI chatbots in language learning.
