N2 - In this survey several studies are presented on foreign language learning assisted by AI-based tools/chatbots in a classroom setting, mostly using 5G-enabled smartphones. The focus of these studies is the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of the tools. Pre-tests and post-tests are frequently used to quantitatively assess student improvement with and without the use of AI-tools in several areas of language learning (vocabulary, grammar, syntax, listening, speaking, writing, etc.). A control student group is used in many cases as a baseline for assessing improvement. Furthermore, a qualitative questionnaire is filled in by the students in most of the studies to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the tools from the perspective of the users. It is found that the use of AI-based tools leads to significant improvement in learning progress.
