How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming English language education by offering innovative tools that support skill development. To examine the perceived benefits and limitations of AI in this context, a quantitative research design was employed using a structured survey method. A total of 137 university students from diverse academic backgrounds participated, providing valuable insights into the role of AI in their English language learning experiences. Data analysis revealed that AI tools-such as grammar correction software, automated feedback systems, and intelligent tutoring platforms-were positively associated with improved writing accuracy, vocabulary expansion, and learner independence. Nevertheless, respondents also expressed concerns regarding excessive reliance on AI, diminished opportunities for critical thinking, and reduced human interaction in learning environments. The statistical findings highlight both the pedagogical potential and the inherent challenges of integrating AI technologies in language instruction. These findings contribute to the growing body of research on educational technology and suggest that while AI holds significant promise for enhancing English language skills, thoughtful implementation is essential to maximize its effectiveness and minimize unintended drawbacks.
