Abstract: The main goal of this research is to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and chatbots on the acquisition of grammar skills, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and others among students. Within this setting, a series of groups were established, consisting of twelve control groups and twelve experimental groups, employing the convenience sampling technique. The control group adhered to the traditional method of grammar instruction, whereas the experimental group employed a grammar learning approach that incorporated artificial intelligence capabilities. Based on the findings from tests and interview analyses, it has been ascertained that the integration of artificial intelligence in grammar education has a good impact on students’ academic achievement. Implementing Chatbot and ChatGPT technologies in education may provide some challenges, although it may also be an enjoyable endeavor. Simultaneously, conducting controlled tests in broader areas will yield more efficient outcomes. The pre-test data were analyzed using SPSS 27 statistical software. Initially, the students’ levels exhibited no variation. However, during the ten-week research, a statistically significant difference of .004 was observed. The experimental group exhibited a statistically significant increase of 27.25% in their success in learning grammar. The study revealed the presence of worries regarding privacy and addiction among students alongside the beneficial features. However, it was determined that the benefits surpassed the drawbacks, and this study will be a useful resource for scholars who will investigate the impact of artificial intelligence tools in education in the future.
