Abstract
The progress in artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to an increased use of automatic conversation programs in language learning. This study aimed to examine the effects of AI chatbots on the communication writing skills of Thai university students and investigate their self-regulated learning strategies while participating in this study. Twenty-six students participated in a four-week chatbot-based learning as an extracurricular activity of an English writing course. Quantitative data on communicative writing skills was obtained through a pretest and a posttest, while a Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire was implemented to obtain qualitative data. Quantitative results showed a significant difference between pretest scores and posttest scores. Qualitative findings revealed the medium use of self-regulated learning strategies. Furthermore, this research article also presents insights into the use of AI chatbots in language teaching and future research.
