Digital technology has become an essential factor in language learning, and there are various tools and techniques that teachers can use to incorporate technology into their teaching practice. The use of digital technology can enhance learners' motivation and engagement, as well as provide access to authentic materials and real-world language use [1, p.12]. However, it is important to ensure that the use of technology is purposeful and appropriate for the learning objectives and needs of the learners [2, p.66]. The web search results provide more information about the use of digital technology in language learning [3, p.45]. For example, in following article [4, p.2] discusses some of the applications and programs that can be used to incorporate technology into language teaching. Using technology has always been an important part of teaching, even in the pre-digital age. Like many early adopters, he gets super-excited by the nice factor of new digital technology. However, some technologies (like VR – virtual reality) is still quite challenging to use successfully. The next publication  [5, p.1] offers insights from leading experts in the use of technology in language learning and teaching through the Teachers Talk Tech podcast. Meanwhile, [6 p.3] presents a quantitative study on the use of technology and teacher support in technology-based learning of English as a foreign language among high school students in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly applied in language learning and teaching. AI can be used to produce natural language, computer code, images, or other media in response to users' queries. In education, AI has been implemented in automated assessment, speech recognition, adaptive and personalized provision of educational resources, and more [7, p.2]. The potential of AI to support language learning and teaching is significant, and some contemporary AI instruments are being developed to learn the rules and patterns of human languages on their own, providing explanations of grammatical functions such as tense, case, and gender [8, p.1]. The use of AI can help personalize the learning experience, provide immediate feedback, and enhance the learning process in a variety of ways. However, it is important to keep in mind that AI should be used to complement and support human teaching, not to replace it. For example, ChatGPT, as an AI specific language model, can be used in various ways in education. Here are some possible use cases:

• Research assistance: ChatGPT can assist students and educators in finding and evaluating relevant research materials, such as academic papers, books, and online resources.

• Course design: ChatGPT can assist educators in designing and developing educational courses, such as by suggesting course topics, creating lesson plans, and developing quizzes and assignments.

To use ChatGPT in education, educators can integrate it into various educational technologies, such as learning management systems, chatbots, or virtual assistants. Alternatively, students can access ChatGPT directly through web-based chat interfaces or messaging platforms. It is important to note that while ChatGPT can provide useful assistance, it should not be seen as a replacement for human educators, but rather as a complement to their teaching efforts. ChatGPT can be a useful tool for research assistance in education. Here are some ways that ChatGPT can be used in this context:

1. Summarizing and paraphrasing sources: ChatGPT can help students summarize and paraphrase information from sources, which can be useful when incorporating research into papers. According to the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning at the University of Illinois, ChatGPT can help students "summarize and paraphrase information from your sources" [9, p.3].
2. Generating bibliographies and citations: ChatGPT can also help students generate bibliographies and citations in the format required by their university or professor. This can save time and ensure that students are accurately citing their sources. The University of Illinois also notes that ChatGPT can help students "generate bibliography and citation in the format required by your university or professor" [10, p.2].
3. Answering test questions and writing essays: According to the American Psychological Association, ChatGPT can answer test questions and write essays [11, p.4]. However, it's important to note that using ChatGPT in this way could raise ethical concerns, as it may be seen as a form of academic dishonesty. It's important for educators to set clear guidelines around the use of ChatGPT in their classrooms and ensure that students are using the tool in an appropriate and ethical way.

Overall, ChatGPT can be a useful tool for research assistance in education, but it's important to use the tool ethically and with clear guidelines in place.

ChatGPT, the chatbot software developed by OpenAI, can be used also as a useful learning support tool in education. Here are some ways to use ChatGPT in education:

1. Answering Questions and Writing Essays: ChatGPT can answer test questions and even write essays [12, p.1]. Educators can use this feature to help students with their assignments and provide feedback.
2. Generating Ideas: ChatGPT can help generate ideas for research papers or creative writing projects [13, p.2]. Students can use this feature to brainstorm ideas and expand on them.
3. Starting Point: Teachers can use ChatGPT as a starting point for classroom discussions or activities. Students can generate answers on GPT and then work from there. GPT-generated essays can also be used as a reference for students to improve their writing skills [14, p.4
4. Summarizing and Paraphrasing: ChatGPT can assist with summarizing and paraphrasing information from sources, which can be useful when incorporating research into papers [15, p.3]

Overall, ChatGPT can be used as a learning support tool in various ways to improve students' academic performance and help them develop critical thinking skills. According to the web search results, ChatGPT can be utilized as a language learning tool in education. One example of using ChatGPT for language learning is demonstrated in a video by Tom Gally, a professor at the University of Tokyo, where he showcases how ChatGPT can be used to assist people in learning and teaching second languages [16, p.2]. ChatGPT can respond to user-generated prompts using natural language processing techniques, making it an effective tool for practicing speaking and writing in a new language. It can also be used to generate prompts for language learners to respond to, aiding in their development of reading and listening comprehension. Overall, ChatGPT has the potential to be an effective language learning tool in education, assisting both students and educators in language acquisition and practice.

ChatGPT can be used also as a writing support tool in education in various ways. One way is to use ChatGPT as an ideation tool, for organization of thoughts, and for iterating on a concept. This can be done by providing ChatGPT with a prompt related to the writing task and seeing how it generates ideas and outlines. Teachers can also have students run their own writing assignments through ChatGPT to see how it does and structure the assignments accordingly. This can help students see how ChatGPT generates responses and what they can learn from its methods [17, p.3].

ChatGPT can also be used as a heuristic engine that helps the student think through refining questions. By providing a prompt or a question, ChatGPT can help students generate ideas and refine their thoughts. For writing assignments, ChatGPT can be used to help students with the research process. Students can use ChatGPT to find information on specific topics and incorporate it into their writing [18, p.4. It is important to note that while ChatGPT can be a useful tool for writing support in education, it may also have some limitations. For instance, ChatGPT was trained using a massive dataset of text written by humans, which was pulled from the internet, and as such, the responses generated may reflect the biases of the humans who wrote the text used in the training dataset. Additionally, there are concerns that the use of AI writing tools like ChatGPT could lead to issues related to academic integrity. Therefore, it is important to use ChatGPT responsibly and alongside other writing support tools and resources.

ChatGPT can be used as a course design tool in various ways. One approach is to run course assignments through ChatGPT to see how it performs and then structure assignments accordingly. Another approach is to use ChatGPT as an ideation tool to help students organize their thoughts and iterate on concepts. Additionally, educators can use ChatGPT as a heuristic engine that helps students refine their questions and develop a deeper understanding of knowledge and skills [19, p.2]. It is important to note that ChatGPT was trained using text written by humans, so it may reflect human biases. Therefore, educators should encourage students to think critically and use ChatGPT as a tool to supplement their own knowledge and skills rather than as a replacement for them.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and specifically, ChatGPT, can serve as a valuable tool in contemporary education. ChatGPT can be utilized to assist with academic writing, help students develop research questions, organize thoughts and iterate on concepts, and provide heuristic engines to guide students in their thinking and question refinement, as mention above.
