The study indicated that the students predominantly possessed favorable attitudes toward AI in the educational process. They indicated that AI enhanced their language acquisition by delivering tailored feedback, presenting stimulating and interactive learning tasks, and allowing adaptable study options. Nonetheless, apprehensions were expressed regarding AI’s capability to supplant educators, monitor students’ development, and its accuracy and reliability. The study illustrated how AI might assist students came up with ideas, locating references, and improving the caliber of research projects. AI technologies could assist teachers in identifying and rectifying student errors, tracking progress, and accelerating the evaluation process, thereby conserving time during grading. These results highlight the significance of balancing AI use with human education to alleviate students' concerns. Future research may examine the efficacy of AI in assisting students with final projects, research proposals, publications, data analysis, and academic writing.
