The methodology involves a qualitative approach, including a pre-test and a post-test checklist, a questionnaire, and a Likert scale. Results indicate significant improvements in students’ accuracy and overall speaking skills after four weeks of using ChatGPT-3.5. Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation were the skills that improved the most during the process. The findings suggest that ChatGPT-3.5 supports the Communicative Language Approach by providing students with a conversational partner for authentic practice and immediate, personalized feedback. Future research with a larger sample could offer deeper insights into the tool's effectiveness across different proficiency levels.130 p.DIGITALPDFenARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / CHATGPT / PEDAGOGICAL TOOL / COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE APPROACHTFGEDU-807
