The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is rapidly transforming the teaching and learning landscape in Vietnam. AI technology is being integrated into various educational platforms to provide personalized learning experiences, support educators, and enhance the overall efficiency of the education system. In Vietnam, AI is utilized to develop adaptive learning programs, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated administrative processes. AI-powered tools such as virtual teaching assistants and chatbots are also being employed to offer real-time support and feedback to students. Furthermore, AI-driven data analytics is used to monitor and improve student performance and engagement levels. AI assists teachers in automating grading, reducing assessment time, and enabling speech recognition systems to evaluate students’ English-speaking skills. These innovations contribute to a more dynamic, interactive, and inclusive educational environment. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, the digital divide, and the demand for a skilled workforce remain significant. Addressing these issues is crucial for the sustainable integration of AI into Vietnam’s education sector.
This is a descriptive study to find out students’ awareness about the benefits and harm that they have experienced from using the AI tools during their learning process. The study was founded on a survey and an interview among majored-English students at Thu Dau Mot University. The data was then This descriptive study aims at finding out students’ awareness about the benefits and harm that they have experienced from using AI tools during their learning process. A four-section survey including open and closed-ended questions was sent out, and 193 majored-English students at Thu Dau Mot University responded randomly. The striking finding is that although students preferred AI tools to support their learning, they themselves accepted the benefits gained and the challenges faced were just a little over the average. In particular, the participants confirmed that AI tools contribute much to the fast speed of their academic work completion, but AI also makes them passively think, become inflexible, and somewhat limit the ability to equip knowledge for their English language competence.
Based on previous surveys, it is evident that Food Technology students at Thu
Dau Mot University face challenges in learning English, such as limited
vocabulary, weak grammar, inaccurate pronunciation, and poor listening and
speaking skills. These can lead to declining academic performance and restricted
career opportunities. The paper highlights the potential of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) in overcoming these challenges. AI tools like Gemini Google can provide
personalized learning experiences, improve interaction with the language, and
offer immediate feedback. Gemini is specifically chosen due to its free access,
Vietnamese interface, and support for over 40 languages. This study
demonstrates that Gemini is an effective tool for undergraduate students,
particularly those in Food Technology who have weak English backgrounds, to
improve their English skills. Gemini improves vocabulary, grammar, speaking,
listening, pronunciation, reading, and writing. It offers simple instructions and
ideas in both English and Vietnamese, making it ideal for beginners, selflearners, and people with limited English proficiency. Unlike traditional
learning, Gemini provides access at any time and from any location, as well as
the ability to overcome shyness and blunders. Gemini's large, up-to-date
database and user-friendly interface enable personalized learning paths and can
be paired with other methods for best language learning. The study also proposes
various strategies for utilizing Gemini Google to improve English learning
effectiveness in areas like vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading,
writing, and creating a positive learning environment. Furthermore, Gemini's
value extends beyond languages, offering assistance in a variety of other areas.
