Abstract:
This study explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on improving 12th graders English listening skills in Oman. The research followed the quasi-experimental approach. There were two groups, one experimental and the other control group, each group has a number of 32 students.  AI tools such as  Text Blaze, Loom and Otter.ai, were employed in a structured eight-week intervention program focusing on four listening comprehension skills namely: getting the main idea from a listening text, answering detailed questions, recognizing the meaning of frequent words, and respond to different types of  questions in a discourse. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in students’ listening skills, with notable increases in scores across all skill areas.   The study recommends incorporating AI applications into educational curricula to support listening skills. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for continuous training for educators to effectively implement AI tools and suggests further research into AI's long-term impact on other language skills.
