INVOLVING NEURAL NETWORKS TO CONDUCT DEBATES IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT THE ADVANCED STAGE OF LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

The article discusses prospects for using the ChatGPT neural network in teaching a foreign language, with a focus on conducting debates as one of the activities that develops speaking skills in a foreign language. Methodological recommendations are considered for using the potential of artificial intelligence to model a personality of an opponent – generating answers according to specified parameters. The capabilities of the neural network make it possible to fully use the real apperception base of native English speakers, as would happen in a real dialogue with real native speakers. The relevance of the use of neural networks in the practice of teaching a foreign language is due to the explosive growth of their popularity in the modern media space, as well as the lack of scientific research into this aspect of the use of artificial intelligence. It is predicted that the scope of application of neural networks will expand, including some spheres in the methodological aspect.
