Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) adaptation in education has been increasing recently. Therefore, multiple studies have been conducted on its potential benefits and usage in education. Moreover, the need to acquire academic vocabulary for students in the English Language to serve their academic goals also received multiple attention. However, few research studies mention the effectiveness of using AI to learn academic vocabulary among graduate students. The research aimed to bridge the gap by examining AI's effects on the academic vocabulary acquisition of students studying for a master’s degree in English studies and to what extent it is used. This brings light to the differences AI creates in the students' learning process. Qualitative data were collected in the form of questionnaires given to the Master's program students in the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Van Lang University. The questions centered around using AI tools to learn academic vocabulary.
