This study seeks to address how the use of ChatGPT impacts Korean university EFL students’ reading comprehension. This study was prompted by two factors: limited research into the impact of AI-assisted practice on EFL reading skills and a lack of classroom-focused research on applying AI methods in education. One teacher and ten students of low-intermediate levels of English proficiency participated in a twenty-four-hour long reading course which included interactions with ChatGPT. Students’ actual work with ChatGPT and class interactions were documented for qualitative analysis. The findings saw two distinctive ways that ChatGPT could contribute to students’ reading comprehension. ChatGPT was used to monitor students’ progress by quizzing them and providing feedback which encouraged students to revisit the text, to reconfirm their previous comprehension and to re-steer their comprehension. ChatGPT provided a proactive avenue for active conversation partner on reading passages; thus, not only providing students with richer language use but also sophisticating their previously-acquired comprehension. The use of AI technology for receptive foreign language acquisition along with the crucial role of human teachers in the creation of interactive scaffolding is discussed.
