Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has wide-ranging potential in the field of education. This research primarily focuses on the applications of ChatGPT as an example in reading learning and teaching. Its affordances are reflected in providing online answers and interactions for learners, understanding the meanings of words, stimulating cognitive associations with words, analysing word families, exploring word origins, aiding in grammar and syntax analysis, and performing simple sentence translations. Artificial intelligence can assist teachers in adjusting the content of reading materials, creating personalised reading materials, and designing comprehension tests. However, Artificial Intelligence should also be regulated to avoid potential challenges of inaccuracy in specific areas, interpreting culturally loaded information, and increasing students’ learning over-reliance on AI.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence; ChatGPT; English reading; affordances; challenges;
