Recently, the application of innovative technological solutions has revolutionized various aspects of our lives, and education is no exception. This study investigated the use of AI-powered tools and their effects on teaching and learning English academic writing skills. The research was conducted with the participation of 5 teachers and 60 students from five academic writing classes in two language centers in Hanoi. Data from the research were mainly collected through tests and questionnaires. Interviews were used as a supporting tool. The research findings indicate that teachers and students have positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI), and AI tools are beneficial to the participants at discourse, sentence, and word/phase levels. The application of AI-powered writing tools has a considerable contribution to the students in terms of cohesion and coherence, lexical resources, grammatical range, and accuracy. The study can be considered an informative source of reference for teachers and students who are teaching and learning academic writing, especially prospective candidates for standardized English tests.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ChatGPT in reading text adaptation. Its primary focus is on examining ChatGPT's ability to adapt texts with particular attention to its contextual understanding and limitations. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative analysis and qualitative evaluation. Quantitative measures assess the consistency of ChatGPT's responses across various text adaptation scenarios, whereas qualitative evaluations involve the assessment of language teachers' attitudes and perceptions towards the use of ChatGPT for text adaptation in their teaching practices. Ethical considerations pertaining to potential biases and misinformation in the model's output are also discussed. The outcomes of this investigation contribute to understanding ChatGPT's strengths and limitations in reading text adaptation. The research has practical implications for domains such as language education, content creation, and information retrieval, where accurate and adaptable text comprehension is crucial.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of ICT application on the acquisition of cognitive skills of language learners. A questionnaire designed by Barnard et al. (2009) has been adopted to collect responses from participants in a teacher training program conducted by the University of Foreign Languages Studies, The UD. The research results demonstrate a positive tendency in language learners to acquire cognitive skills such as academic self-efficacy, time planning and management, study regulation, task strategies, and metacognitive activities when exposed to the online learning environment. This also suggests implications for language instructors to take into consideration to improve learning outcomes.
本研究的目的是调查信息和通信技术的应用对语言学习者掌握认知技能的影响。本研究采用了 Barnard 等人（2009 年）设计的调查问卷，以收集 UD 外语研究大学教师培训项目参与者的答复。研究结果表明，语言学习者在接触在线学习环境后，在学习自我效能感、时间规划与管理、学习调节、任务策略和元认知活动等认知技能方面呈现出积极的趋势。这也为语言教师提高学习效果提供了参考。

ChatGPT, known as an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, has gained popularity in various fields, including language education, since its launch in 2022. Accordingly, stakeholders have voiced a growing concern about its potential and challenges in different areas. In such a context, the present study investigates teachers’ perceptions about using ChatGPT in language teaching and assessment. The data were collected via a questionnaire survey from the teachers working in Vietnam’s universities, where language teaching is an important field. They were asked about their knowledge and concerns relating to using this conversational AI tool in their teaching and assessment activities and the challenges they might face. The outcomes of this research are likely to play a part in understanding how university teachers access and apply the new technological development to their current work, how they perceive its appropriateness, as well as how they handle its impacts. The investigation has practical implications for providing teachers with professional assistance in managing AI models.
