The Impact of ChatGPT on the Learning Satisfaction of Foreign Language Learners: A Study

Abstract

Nowadays, ChatGPT serves as a representative of generative pre-training models, promoting the application of artificial intelligence in the field of education. Language teaching is also facing changes and opportunities with the help of GPT. The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of using ChatGPT to assist foreign language learning on learning satisfaction and analyze the role of usage duration and depth. Firstly, a systematic review of related research is carried out to summarize the application scenarios and positive effects of ChatGPT in foreign language learning. Secondly, an empirical study is designed to conduct questionnaire surveys among Chinese university students, using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis statistical methods to analyze data. Using multiple linear regression, it is proved that both GPT usage duration and depth have positive correlations with learning satisfaction in foreign language learning. The correlation between GPT usage duration and satisfaction is stronger than that between usage depth. Based on the research results, this paper analyzes the application status quo and reasons for GPT in foreign language learning and proposes suggestions for using GPT in foreign language learning.
