Abstract
This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT as a learning aid in
English language instruction for tenth-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri
Purworejo in the 2024/2025 academic year. A qualitative approach with a case study
design was employed. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire
consisting of twenty statements covering aspects such as vocabulary, grammar,
pronunciation, motivation, self-confidence, ease of use, and learning preferences. A
total of 69 students from classes X-G and X-H participated in this study. The data were
analyzed descriptively to identify patterns in students’ perceptions of ChatGPT usage.
The results showed that most students had positive perceptions. They believed that
ChatGPT helped improve vocabulary and grammar, enhanced pronunciation, boosted
motivation and confidence, and made English learning more enjoyable. Although some
students reported doubts or minor technical issues, overall, ChatGPT was perceived as
an effective and engaging tool for supporting English language learning. Therefore,
ChatGPT is recommended as a complementary learning aid to enhance classroom
instruction.
