“…Among the range of foreign language learning options, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has seen good results ( Jen-Jiun and Huifen, 2019 ; Khafaga and Alghawli, 2021 ). A recent development in this kind of software is the use of apps, which have become increasingly popular as a medium of instruction in general ( García-Aretio, 2016 ), as well as specifically for learning English, with the incorporation of artificial intelligence ( Jin et al, 2019 ). Such programs incorporate a range of approaches, such as task scaffolding and conversational interaction ( Chie Fang et al, 2021 ), and the development of speaking ( Moreno-Ibañez et al, 2016 ), reading and writing ( Liou, 2016 ) skills.…”

This study examines learners’ perceptions of the linguistic and learning potential of an AI-based English language learning app called Papua. The study took a quasi-experimental approach in which 128 students of the degree in Primary Education at the University of Huelva, Spain, gained experience of using the app over a six-week period, and then answered a questionnaire. This was of a quantitative design, and included the following components: attitudes towards learning English; attitudes towards learning oral and written skills, and towards opportunities for interacting in English; and attitudes towards the motivation provided by the app. These attitudes were contrasted according to the variables memory and self-evaluation. The results of the study showed that oral skills were perceived as the most improved skill. Participants also foregrounded the enhancement of memorization of vocabulary, and positively evaluated the self-evaluation feature included in the app.
