“…Constantinou [16] calls attention to the positive effects that can result from using the tools. Additionally, the current findings shed light on the potential benefits of technology in developing learner autonomy for students, which were proposed by Reinders [9]. The findings indicate that the students have the ability to exert more control over their own education and are actively participating in the process of acquiring new knowledge.…”

“…Ahmadi [8] also notes that educational technology tools are attractive to foreign language teachers because they have the potential to increase students' active engagement and stimulate language learning outcomes. Technology can also explicitly support the development of learner autonomy, according to Reinders [9], but few people make this effort. Similar to this, Alsulami [2] claimed that using multimedia, the Internet, and cloud-based resources helps students improve their language skills, motivation, and autonomy in the classroom.…”

<span lang="EN-US">The application of technology in language classrooms is widely believed to benefit learners. In the context of teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL) for high school students in Vietnam, there are few studies on the benefits of applying Google Workspace for Education (GWE). This small-scale qualitative study seeks to explore the benefits of applying GWE as a technological solution in the EFL classroom with high school students. The participants were eight eleventh graders in the north of Vietnam learning English in evening classes at an English center. To collect data, the students were interviewed. The qualitative data was analyzed based on themes. The results indicated that the benefits of applying GWE were evident in enhanced attitude and motivation for learning and improved learning skills. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that Google tools be utilized for English language learning and instruction.</span>

“…The results of this study demonstrated that the experimental group for whom ChatGPT supported vocabulary sessions were designed, were more motivated than the control group as they informed the instructor after the sessions while having chat that they were having fun and never wanted to continue in traditional way. While technology can present opportunities for enthusiastic learners, it is improbable to result in self-motivated or autonomous behaviour in a majority of learners unless suitable teaching practices take advantage of the benefits of technology and incorporate adequate instruction on the utilization of technology for language learning objectives (Reinders, 2018). This post-lesson plan can incorporate technologically assisted learning activities and use a leading and encouraging style to promote students' independent conduct.…”

As digital technology advances, its tools and applications are being used both inside and outside the classroom to increase student participation and motivation. One encouraging technology that has freshly seized acceptance is the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning. One akin AI structure is ChatGPT. It is a language model matured by OpenAI that can engender human-like chat in return to user guidance. The goal of this study is to explore the effect of combining ChatGPT-generated dialogues into language teaching materials on the motivation of language learners. The participants group of this study were second-year 60 university students. The students' motivational strategies were measured using the 'Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire' (Pintrinch & De Groot, 1990). The outcomes of the present study showed that there were statistically powerful differences between majors on the motivation test subcategories (self-regulation, intrinsic values, and test anxiety). In other words, using ChatGPT technology as a learning material, has increased the motivation of the students.

“…Many academics state that autonomous learning is evident in the context of language learning with the use of technology [13], [17], [19], [25]. Reinders [25] argues that technology can also be used to explicitly support the growth of learner autonomy.…”

The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic stimulated the utility of the technological tools for online language learning at the tertiary level in Vietnam. Many universities chose Google digital tools as a technological solution for online instruction. However, there is still a scarcity of studies on university students’ perceptions of using Google tools in the context of online English learning. This study aims to explore university students’ perceptions of the efficacy of using Google tools (namely, Google Classroom, Google Forms, Google Meet, and Google Sites) as a combined technological solution for online English learning in the last phase of the pandemic at a university in northern Vietnam. The research was carried out in the academic year 2021–2022, with 128 non-English majors taking General English courses online. A Likert-scale questionnaire created by Google Forms was distributed to gather feedback from the students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven students to gain more in-depth data. The results overall demonstrated that the students favorably perceived the applied Google tools as effective tools to support online English learning. It was also found that females had higher perceptions than males regarding the ease of the tools. Furthermore, first-year students agreed more than second-year students on the effectiveness of the tools in increasing engagement in learning.
