Abstract

This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of the use of ChatGPT’s voice as an artificial intelligence
based learning tool in speaking classes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were
collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 first-year students of the English Education Department at
the University of Papua. The interview data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion
drawing to identify emerging themes related to students’ experiences, preferences, and challenges.The findings
indicated that the majority of students perceived the use of ChatGPT’s voice positively. Most participants reported
feeling more comfortable, confident, and motivated when practicing speaking using ChatGPT’s voice. Sixteen
students had prior experience using ChatGPT’s voice, while three students had no previous experience due to
limited access or technological skills. All participants expressed a preference for using ChatGPT’s voice over
traditional speaking instruction. However, several challenges were also identified, including limited vocabulary,
difficulties in responding in English, and lack of access to suitable devices. Overall, the results suggest that
ChatGPT’s voice has the potential to enhance speaking practice by providing an interactive, flexible, and
supportive learning environment for EFL students.
