Abstract
This study investigates the impact of AI-driven chat-bots on English language communication, focusing on a comparative analysis of human-AI interactions within secondary education in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Nigeria. Utilizing a case study methodology, data were collected from one hundred respondents, comprising both students and academic staff, and analysed using the Chi-square (X²) statistical tool. The findings reveal that AI-driven chat-bots are vital tools for enhancing the processes of teaching, learning, and interaction in the English language, and are established as an economically viable method. The research identifies a transformational shift in educational communication through the use of AI to mimic human-like tasks and relationships. As this technology has been successfully adopted in other climes, the study strongly advocates for its integration into the Nigerian educational system, concluding that its significant merits outweigh potential demerits. The researcher recommends a collaborative effort among all stakeholders and the proactive integration of AI tools into the national curriculum. This measure is crucial to align with global educational trends and to build a resilient system capable of withstanding future disruptions, such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
