Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Foreign Language Testing and Assessment: Case Study at Some Universities in Viet Nam

The study focuses on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in foreign language testing and assessment. It aims to analyze the role and impact of AI in foreign language testing and assessment at some universities in Viet Nam at present. Based on qualitative methods and data analysis, the study shows that AI has opened up many new possibilities such as automatic scoring, instant feedback, test personalization, direct monitoring of the testing process and ensuring objectivity in assessment. However, AI’s application also poses challenges such as reliability, validity, practicality, implementation capacity, and academic ethics. The study proposes some suggestions to maximize the potential of AI, contributing to improving the quality of foreign language testing and assessment, thereby improving effectiveness of foreign language teaching and learning.
