The use of chatbots has recently received considerable attention in educational research. In particular, an increasing number of studies have adopted chatbots in language learning. However, reviews examining the effects of using chatbots in language learning are scarce. Thus, this meta-analysis attempted to synthesise the available research findings on the effectiveness of using chatbots in language learning. It included 29 empirical studies. A random effects meta-analysis indicated that chatbot-supported interv…
The gain
A meta-analysis of 29 empirical studies found chatbot-supported interventions produced a medium overall effect on language learning (g = 0.795), though results varied significantly between studies.
What this doesn’t fix
The authors report significant heterogeneity across the included studies, so the average effect varies widely between settings and designs.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2765 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
