The study aims to examine the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence chatbot in helping the students improve their speaking performance and adopting it in terms of the learning environment and learning styles in Korean elementary school English classes. The results suggest that there were intergroup differences across English proficiency levels, as the low-level group showed a noticeable improvement in the “listening and speaking words” area. It is also noted that AI PengTalk offers effective support for online learning and teaching including personalizing learning for students and reducing noise. In offline classes, using AI PengTalk as a supplementary tool for classroom activities helped enhance the learner’s motivation. The follow up writing activity after their use of AI PengTalk helped them to develop their self-directed learning. These all may provide insights into facilitating successful AI-based language learning platforms in Korean elementary English classes.
