Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of ChatGPT’s voice conversation feature in university students’ English-speaking practice. Speaking is one of the essential skills in English language learning. However, students still face various challenges, such as limited time, a lack of speaking partners, anxiety, and fear of making mistakes. The development of artificial intelligence has introduced ChatGPT’s voice conversation feature, which enables students to speak directly, receive spoken responses, answer questions, and continue conversations in English. This study employed a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data were obtained from 13 journal articles published between 2022 and 2026. The articles were selected based on their relevance to the learning topic. The data were analyzed through the stages of identification, reduction, classification, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that ChatGPT’s voice conversation feature is used through several strategies, including setting practice objectives, assigning roles to ChatGPT, selecting topics, conducting conversations gradually, requesting follow-up questions, asking for repetition, requesting corrections, and repeating the practice. The analysis indicates that this feature provides flexible opportunities for speaking practice. However, its use still requires lecturer guidance because the responses and corrections provided are not always accurate.
