AB - A.I. is expected to come into wide use in second language acquisition under the hope that it can substitute for a native speaking interlocutor while providing the learner with speaking and writing practices. Learners can communicate with an A.I. chatbot by providing it with the target language as input and then scrutinizing the spoken and written output in the same language. The aim of the current research is to glean suggestions for language learning by analyzing excerpts of text chats between an advanced Korean learner of English and an A.I. chatbot over four months. The specific elements analyzed are grammaticality for accuracy, sentence length for complexity, and the lexical diversity of the learner’s written language. The analysis of the learner’s synchronous written text while chatting with an A.I. chatbot indicates that the learner’s English shows no significant changes in terms of complexity (sentence length), accuracy (number of errors), or lexical diversity over time. It is therefore important to search for ways that A.I. can be used efficiently with the intention of understanding its growing potentials in second language acquisition and foreign language learning.
