With rapidly emerging technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs) being used for daily life, naturally this has piqued interest in its implications for language learning. This study aims to explore student usage of Artificial Intelligence tools in an ESOL context to develop understanding of its viability both inside and outside of the classroom as a language learning partner. Activities were performed in three stages: in-class discussion, guided use of AI tools, and an optional follow-up survey. Results were found to be mixed, with a moderately positive response on learner attitudes towards AI tools indicating worthwhile exploration in ESOL courses.
